- Cthulhu_ 6y agoCitation needed? Linux users pining for Microsoft products is a rarity. Why would they go for a closed-source browser when they can go with the open-source, non-google Chromium (same engine) or Firefox?
- TuringNYC 6y agoOne reason I might use it on Linux is to test our website/product UX on Edge and ensure wider coverage.
- varbhat 6y agoAfaik , websites on all chromium based browsers look same.(because core of these browsers are same) So,testing on edge would render same as chrome.

- skohan 6y agoWould Edge for Linux be a valid test for Edge/Windows? Wouldn’t there be things like text rendering which would be platform specific?
- wayneftw 6y agoPlus one here and a few more in my company. I already run official Google Chrome everywhere and I don't give a hoot about running closed-source software, such as the official VS Code binaries. I'm on Linux because it's the most practical choice for me, not because I'm a FOSS warrior. I want Edge because it's going to be a well-maintained option to get away from Chrome if I they start doing things I don't like, such as limiting ad-blocking with Manifest v3.
- jeroenhd 6y agoHear, hear. When Edge for Linux launches, developers for modern Windows customers (no IE) can finally do away with the Windows VMs to test their applications. I'm glad I don't need to support Safari because there's no way in hell that that's ever going to come to Linux (or Windows again).
