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 t |
|
it. |
|
|
|
NOTE: I never use Edge at work, I either use Firefox or Chrome but |
|
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 t |
|
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 |
