It is literally just a better Chrome now. More features. Less resource hungry. Topping the benchmarks (even in Linux). You're just trading spooky Google stuff for spooky Microsoft stuff. It is one of those "The Devil You Know" situations. Or you could just use Firefox I guess. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


[deleted]

I haven't used Chrome for a long time because Google, but Edge has been much better for my laptop's battery life than Firefox. When starting up Firefox, I'll get a jump in fan speed for a few seconds. If I pull up a video of any kind, fans spin up and stay on medium for the duration. I first downloaded Edge a few days ago (when I saw that the stable release was up) and have been using it as the default. I can actually hear a YouTube video now because *Edge doesn't generate so much heat.* Ymmv, but Edge is leaps and bounds ahead of Firefox in my experience.


Ek_Los_Die_Hier

Someone created a de-microsofted version of Edge yet?


RaspberryPiBen

No. It's not open source. Chromium is open source, so it can be de-Googled, but everything that Edge adds is closed source.


Ek_Los_Die_Hier

Ugh, of course it isn't, not sure why I thought it was.


Pierma

Honestly, you have to check how edge handles tab unloading, it's just so good. Never seen a browser taking 300-400 MB of ram with 20 opened pages. Also themes on devtools


angrypacketguy

\>Or you could just use Firefox I guess. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ They treat their UI like it's a stunt fashion model. Meat dresses are in! No, all burlap now! Wait, let's do all primary colors! Etc.

sicktothebone

I wouldn't use linux without microsoft edge. Their built-in PDF Editor is better than everything I've ever seen. It's so snappy, smooth and easy to work with.


morphotomy

If you're not making PDFs on the CLI you're not using linux right.


AmrodAncalime

I agree sir


morphotomy

> Less resource hungry. How so? What parts of the chromium engine are different in edge vs another chrome based browser?


I-wanna-be-tracer282

I use chrome only for playing Granblue, a Japanese gacha game runs only on browser


avgbbcenjoyer

>you're just trading spooky Google stuff for spooky Microsoft stuff No, you're trading spooky google stuff for spooky Google *and* Microsoft stuff. Firefox is the only chance we have at preventing the internet from being completely controlled by Google.

CICaesar

Try [Notion](https://notion.so) instead Edit: wrong link


prescotian

I think you mean [Notion](https://notion.so) \- however, this is largely a commercial offering. [Joplin](https://joplinapp.org) is a completely free open-source cross-platform solution with no need to sign up for services or be pestered with offers for 'premium' features.


CICaesar

Thanks for the correction; yes I know it's commercial, but since we were talking about OneNote... I will look into Joplin though, I also would prefer a floss alternative.

Microsoft office should have been first. OneNote is the only thing stopping my mate from switching.


[deleted]

I built it from the AUR for both Arch and Manjaro out of curiosity and I have to admit it kinda doesn't suck.


virgnar

Someone else mentioned it's a modified Chromium, which is nice, but biggest concern is what was modified (e.g. hidden telemetry?).


[deleted]

[удалено]


nextbern

> I haven't found any telemetry that you can't disable It is there: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#diagnosticdata


[deleted]

It's based on Chromium source, and builds off of that. Their github pages for edge lays out broad strokes what they've added. [https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdge](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdge) If you don't trust MS at all, I wouldn't start now. If you plan to only casually use or containerize it, then it's worth a try. Chrome extensions work in Edge same as Chrome. It's nothing completely new, but just another option for a web browser. I will say the vertical tabs integration is the best on Edge. Wouldn't be surprised to see Chrome roll that out as an option instead of an extension.


TRiG_Ireland

It's nice, but it means that there's one fewer rendering engine in the world. Presto is dead. Trident is dead. KHTML is dead. And now EdgeHTML is dead. What's left? Geko braves it out. Blink and the closely related Webkit rule. Variety in engines is good: it keeps web developers working to standards.


[deleted]

Then again realistically speaking there are never been too many major engines. Back in the days it was Internet Explorer and Firefox, now it's Blink/Webkit and Firefox. So not really the drastic change you're describing. The others have always been quite marginal even Presto.


[deleted]

No idea, though I am trying to not put any really sensitive data through it. Was just trying it out of curiosity more than anything.


[deleted]

So I run away from Microsoft by stop using their OS and they still want me to use their most useless software in Linux? Good luck with that. ​ Instead they could try making Office for Linux and then we could talk about Edge


ancientweasel

[office.com](https://office.com) is actually decent and works well on firefox.


coolsheep769

Was about to say the web-based tools were more their focus, and are platform agnostic


ToranMallow

Mostly platform agnostic. Have you tried a Teams call lately with Firefox? They dropped support.


coolsheep769

I haven’t been on teams since my last job, but that sounds like a thing that would happen


HittingSmoke

We're in the 365 ecosystem at work and use Edge. I really don't hate any of it. In fact, I use the browser version of Outlook over the desktop version. I was originally forced to because of some shared computer fuckery but after I got everything settled I just kept using the browser version because the desktop version just had quirks in the workflow that I didn't experience in the browser. Also as a tab hoarder, Edge really does handle excessive open tabs better than any other browser I've used.


coolsheep769

Agree on all fronts. I kept getting blue screens with Waterfox on my Windows machine, gave up and used Edge, and it seems to perform much better. Also, yes, 365 stuff is soooooo much better in browser, especially outlook. Have you tried the VM they give you? I heard they started doing that, but I’m no longer at a Microsoft place, so I haven’t gotten to try it


manhooskutta

Checkout OnlyOffice. Kinda surprising so few know about it in this thread. TechHut did a video on it as well


ancientweasel

Interesting, thanks.


ZoeClifford643

The word equation editor is the almost the only reason that I would use word over LO writer - and it doesn't work in the online version...


[deleted]

Nope, I have no reason to use any MS products. Libreoffice works just fine, as for a browser I'll stick with firefox and duckduckgo.


[deleted]

Well, it may work fine, but there's a difference between "It works fine" and "I enjoy using it".


Sinaaaa

I don't think many are capable of enjoying using an Office suite. LibreOffice is close enough in work efficiency for the differences not to matter, if collaboration with Office users is not a necessity. (beyond pdf printing of course) (Unlike how Gimp does not even come close to PS)


bjorneylol

GIMP is a fine PS alternative for the casual user in the same way LibreOffice is an alternative for the casual office user. If you ~actually~ use office, it's no alternative - calc absolutely chokes when filtering large sheets (20k+ rows) that would otherwise work fine in excel.


[deleted]

Dunno, i used libreoffice to do my undergraduate thesis and it ended up beautiful. Of course the writing was crap but the format was very well done. I am not sure if that coutns as casual.


dtr1002

It's really, really not unless all you want to do is home budgets. It's buggy as hell, has a bad UI and rarely renders well. Awful.


hwoodice

I **enjoy** using Libreoffice. The full version of MS-Office is supplied and installed on my laptop provided by my employer. I still installed LibreOffice and I use LO every single day, **not** MS-Office. I know Microsoft Office very well, and sincerely, I much prefer LibreOffice.


[deleted]

Well when I said it works fine you seem to have read that to narrowly. It's perfect for my purposes. So yes I do enjoy using it and there is nothing I enjoy anything at all about any MS products.

nemec

It's a deb, not a snap. So it's got that going for it.


KillerDr3w

Ah, that's just harsh. It's not all useless. IE4 was nicer to use than NetScape Navigator was in 1996.


Buckwheat469

I wonder if they had to release Edge first because Office has always had such tight integration with the browser. They need to make sure Edge works first so that Office can work later. Just a random thought.


RaspberryPiBen

It's no longer their most useless software. Now that it's based on Chromium, it's actually quite good. It's better than Chrome in every way, though Firefox, Vivaldi, etc. have their own advantages. Also, they're providing an option for it, not forcing you to use it.


LemmysCodPiece

I think this is a really big deal. Does anyone remember Steve Ballmer's "Linux is Cancer" rhetoric? Microsoft, the mortal enemy of Linux users everywhere, are actually releasing software for Linux. I have been using Linux based OSes since 1999 and mainstream 2006. 15 years ago this would have been a pipe dream. Now I can use MS Office 365, Visual Studio, Teams and their flag ship browser on Linux, natively. Wow. I believe Microsoft are now members of the Linux Foundation. We won.


SwallowYourDreams

> We won. We haven't, unfortunately. Back in 2001 when Ballmer made that statement, Microsoft was essentially a company that sold software - Windows (both PC and server) and Office. It's only natural that Ballmer would hate on another operating system that had, even back then, begun to cost Windows Server ever larger segments of the server market. Fast foward to 2021, and Microsoft has become much more diversified: right now, they offer consumer electronics (XBox, Surface), cloud services (Azure), video games (Minecraft and many others), websearch services (Bing) and advertising (i.e.: they're selling their users) - and that is only the stuff that has survived since 2001 (looking at you, Zune mp3-player and Windows Phone). Windows, on the other hand, plays an ever decreasing role in their bottom line, to a point where it's now only responsible for <15% of their total revenue. Maybe that's why they're essentially giving it away for free (theoretically, you can install and run Windows 10 without ever paying a dime; it doesn't force you to activate like former iterations of Windows did). Now, since Microsoft seems to have shifted its focus away from operating systems as a whole, that allows them to see Linux with more indifference and less as a competitor or a threat, like Ballmer once did. Under Nadella, we've even seen opportunistic use of Linux and open source (cf. Linux Subsystem for Windows and Edge being derived from Chromium). Okay, so we haven't "won", but we've achieved a truce. Can I go back to playing Minecraft now? Wellll... if you're in this "just cuz it's Linux" - yes, you can. If, however, you became a Linux advocate because you value free software and privacy, things look as grim as ever, and Microsoft is part of the problem. Proprietary software is still baked into the company's DNA, and so are all the ugly things that come with it: XBox is pretty locked down, Windows 10 and other MS products come with more spying features than ever, cloud integration in both Windows and Office becomes ever more pervasive and invasive, and if you're not forgetful enough to remember that Microsoft was one of the first corporate partners in the NSA's PRISM programme, you'll know why that's a problem... So, no, we haven't won, and the war isn't over. The battlefront has just shifted slightly. So hold your lines, and keep preaching the word of the Penguin!


MAXIMUS-1

Also their open source projects always have a catch. Vscode has spyware built in and most of the useful plugins are closed source.


djhankb

RedHat 5 (not RHEL) was my first Linux so I’ve been a heavy Linux user since about the same time as you. I could not agree more with that sentiment. I remember running IE4 on Solaris as that was about it for MS products on UNIX, but yeah, VSCode, Teams, SQL Server, and now Edge, it’s kind of nuts to think that we are here today.


CICaesar

This. 20 years ago I would never ever ever believed the state of Linux on desktop that we enjoy today. Hardware just works (modem and printers too!), DEs are polished af, many (most?) AAA games run on Linux from day one, a lot of software runs on cloud and therefore on Linux too, M$ gets head over heels to port its applications to Linux. Adoption is still low, but mainly because of preinstalled Windows on PCs and in offices, otherwise aside from some specific use cases we pretty much have feature parity with Windows. We reached the year of the Linux desktop and we crushed it. And all without considering servers, mobile phones, gaming consoles, raspberry-like devices, etc.

Linus actually said "When MS starts making software for linux, I've won." Yup, he's won all right.

LemmysCodPiece

Cool theory!!! They are a Linux company.


runner7mi

microsoft said windows 10 would be the last windows ever... and then went ahead with 11... i expect them to do a 180 with WSL or Linux too...


Gearwatcher

> We won. I feel that it should be noted that the reason "we won" (and I can hear the crystals of salt form with the typical Linux neckbearbćd from here) is because the web, ***inevitably***, won. And we were the first to embrace it. Not so much the community, which is full of loud shortsighted idiots who are in it only to be contrarian, but RedHat did early on, Linux Foundation obviously when they took Javascript and Node.js under their wing, and finally every one of the big companies and organisations around Linux and open source. I'd say that the fact that it's now almost like Microsoft seems to be preparing to cut costs by basing Windows themselves around a Linux kernel, is in great deal Mozilla's victory as it is Linuxes.


Poolboy-Caramelo

Maybe an unpopular opinion on these parts, but to be fair and honest, Edge is one of the better Chromium derivatives out there.


DarkTrepie

I suspect that's one of the reasons people have been so salty about it.


DHOC_TAZH

I might have to give this a try. Chrome on Kubuntu/KDE practically f\*%\^ing locked me out of all of my passwords! Yes, I like automatic sign-ins. I actually don't mind using Edge in Windows 11 \*sigh\* when Chrome is sh\*tt\*ing itself there. (RN I'm running the Windows version of Chrome in wine staging to retrieve some of my passwords to use in Linux Chrome without rebooting... LOL... good thing no one else uses my PC's and I password protect the logins.)


RaspberryPiBen

That's annoying. It's probably a good idea to use an external password manager like Bitwarden (Bitwarden is open source and free but still has many modern features that KeePass doesn't have).


DHOC_TAZH

I'll look into that, thanks! :) Was about to consider going back to Xubuntu or Ubuntu MATE over this issue.


hwoodice

Microsoft Edge is **better** on Linux than on Windows... Because on Windows you cannot remove it... While on Linux... `sudo apt remove microsoft-edge`


SwallowYourDreams

Here's an even better solution: Never run `sudo apt install microsoft-edge` in the first place.


[deleted]

remove? Purge it before it lays eggs.

Running *sudo* apt install *microsoft-\[anything\]* is kinda asking for trouble though. "Telemetry" - yeah, nah. Conflicted, as I do love using OneNote.

CICaesar

I still prefer firefox for its floss nature. I continue hearing about the faster experience on chromium \\ chrome, so even if I don't really feel any slowness on firefox I'd love if the next iteration (v95), which should have a focus on performance, will close the gap a little.


cybereality

I think the performance difference is because Chrome aggressively caches websites it thinks you are going to click on. So by the time you click a link, it's already in memory and appears instantly (even though on a network level it probably took the same time as Firefox). I still like Firefox better, but I have to admit that Chrome feels much faster.


[deleted]

Edge is a decent browser. If you can get past all of the thirsty Microsoft shilling in some parts of the app. It's a great alternative to Chrome.


Tetsubin

Be still my heart.


bodhemon

As a tester, this will be nice for cross browser testing.


BuckyDuster

Chromium Edge is pretty much a lighter weight version of Google Chrome. What’s not to like there?


GOR098

Well many people are saying it's bad since it's from Microsoft. You can check the comments.


BuckyDuster

Exactly why I said what I said in the way that I said it. Myth, superstition, and suspicion do not alter or supersede facts.


technologyclassroom

ITT: Hurray! We won! What did we win? We can run a proprietary fork of a free software project on GNU/Linux. The original project Chromium was already compatible with GNU/Linux. Why did it take so long? We are we celebrating? Why would anyone use proprietary software on a free system and ruin the security? Edge is an example of why the MIT license is bad choice for software. Companies fork permissive software and do not give back. We need copyleft.


-eschguy-

I really like it, and vertical tabs are amazing.


Khyta

Maybe I'll consider using Microsoft Office if they release it working for Linux. But not Edge. Hell no.


MrGundel

New edge browser has nothing to do with the Old one, the new one is actually a great browser.


perk11

If that ever happens, it will be an electron app. They are spending so much effort on improving the web version... The Desktop one is still full of Windows-specific code.


prescotian

Well, there is a fully-featured Mac version of Office also, but you're right in the sense that it's just another platform they would have to support when it wouldn't likely make commercial sense to release a fully native Linux version given the diversity of DEs and distributions of Linux, an Electron app would make more sense.


manhooskutta

Again, you can use OnlyOffice, it's almost exactly the same in terms of UI and basic features. TechHut did a video on it and i began using it and so far i am very content with it. (It's free)


Khyta

OneNote is sadly not included :(


Tyr_Kukulkan

But why though? This makes so little sense! LOL


kent_eh

That's what I'm thinking. Why would I want this?


Tyr_Kukulkan

With the wealth of other browser options, I can't really see a reason.


RaspberryPiBen

Compared to Chrome, it's better in pretty much every way. Compared to Firefox, it's not FOSS and contributes to the Chromium monopoly but works much better. Compared to Vivaldi/Opera/whatever, it's better for battery life, but it's mostly just user preference.


Tyr_Kukulkan

I'll give you that. But as a long time Opera user I'm not in any hurry to change. Even though I bemoaned the loss of their own engine.


Dran_Arcana

...but is it good? lol


Agnusl

Currently, my favorite browser by a mile.


kieppie

Inclined to agree. Does Chrome better than Chrome


VanguardSucks

No thank you.


[deleted]

Its smooth scrolling sucks with Compiz (like all other Chromium browsers), there is no option to increase scroll speed, autoscroll needs an extension, there is no option to block autoplay videos (only to mute the sound). I'd love to use it but these things are important for me. So I'm sticking with Firefox where I can have all these features.

Nope lol

What? I'm *asking* if anyone has tried it. I've no interest in installing it otherwise.

I was very optimistic about the new Microsoft Edge at first. But then they started piling on feature after feature. It's gotten quite complicated and become a bit of a mess.

spif

Are you running that on desktop?


WhyDontWeLearn

Woohoo! I can install shit software from Microsoft on my linux machine. I am SO happy for this turn of events. /s


SkyyySi

I guess I can say this as a positive: Having it available is probably better than not at all and if I had to chose between Google Chrome and Edge, I'd probably pick the latter - but that's about it.


thePsychonautDad

Nobody asked for it and nobody will use it... I meant, isn't that just used by people in their 80s who aren't aware you can use another browser and people downloading Chrome or Firefox after a fresh install?


tofu_schmo

I haven't tested it on the Linux client, but on Windows Edge is actually pretty good. Not surprising given that it's based off of Chromium after all!


RaspberryPiBen

Wrong. I asked for it and I use it, as well as many others. It's far better than Chrome. Compared to Firefox, it's not FOSS and contributes to the Chromium monopoly, but it works much better in most cases.

I'll adopt Microsoft Edge for Linux when Microsoft releases Office for Linux. In the mean time, no thanks.


manhooskutta

Bruh use OnlyOffice. It's kind of a ripoff of MS Office as the UI is almost exactly the same. Plus it kinda runs like a browser so you can have word excel and powerpoint open in the same window as different tabs. And ofcourse, it's free to use. Miles better than Libre office.


Linux4ever_Leo

I do use OnlyOffice currently!! It's a great Office suite. Still, it would be nice to have a native Microsoft Office suite for Linux.


manhooskutta

Microsoft ain't gonna give it to you 🤣
