Microsoft Edge on linux
Sunday Jul 17 8:23:59 2022
------------------------------
I found out by chance that the Microsoft Edge browser was based on
Chromium and also that you could install it on linux. So I had to try
it.
NOTE: I never use Edge at work, I either use Firefox or Chrome but at
home I use Chromium a lot so I thought there would not be
many differences between them (Edge and Chromium, that is).
I have only used Edge twice because I have not yet had the chance to
fully configure it to my liking but so far I must say that
it is a pretty usable and fast browser. I guess I will have to edit
this post a couple of times more... as work progresses.
You can download it (.deb or .rpm) from:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge
(In the process of writing my first update I thought that microsoft
must have hired some linux experts in order to port Edge to linux).
UPDATE 18-07-22: I tweaked the theme and installed an add blocker
that works like a charm. Yes like
UPDATE 19-07-22: Bing start page is full of hideous clickbait.
No like
