I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious… does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?

EDIT: Well, you all have provided some interesting perspectives I hadn’t ever considered. Including one which means I’ll have to install Edge, so… thanks, I guess. 😂

    When it initially came out it actually seemed pretty great. I’m as anti-Microsoft as they come but I had to check it out.

    But yeah, these days it’s pure trash. It was fun while it lasted.

      The core browser is still good, but they keep changing and adding annoying things and doing questionable privacy things like sending images to their servers “for enhancement”. For a while they removed the ability to remove sync data, but I think it may have been added back again after backlash.
