Edge isn't IE. At all. It's a fully modern browser that does everything Chrome does, and them some.
I need to use a Chrome-based browser for work (too many web app devs write crap code that only runs on Chrome), and I'm working on the prep right now to switch to Edge because it's just better. Not as good as Firefox, mind you, but Edge is now quite usable after years of being a joke. (Although I still think the never-really finished IE11 on Win8.1 offered a glimpse of the best touch/pen browser experience ever, one I'm still waiting for again.)
Credit to MS where it's due, though - they finally built a really good browser. Pity it took them decades. Glad they're making it available on Linux, too, just like they did VSCode. The more the merrier...

I was curious because Edge has had an IE compatibility mode: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode
- sgerenser 6y agoI seriously doubt this will make its way to the Linux version. AFAIK the IE compatibility mode is literally running a full IE browser engine in a separate tab. Running this on Linux would require rewriting this old engine to support Linux. Can't see this happening.
