Today Microsoft released the first Dev-Version of its Edge Browser for Linux.
Let’s have a first look on it within Kubuntu 20.04
(1) Download
Alltough the official Edge-Homepage reports… not available for Linux…
…Microsoft published it as a deb-package (and also RPM):

(2) First glimpse on it
- It appears in the Plasma App-Launcher 🙂
- The Welcome Screen – as expexted
- Default-Search engine – Bing
- Settings – as expected
First impressions after 15 minutes: Works well (like Chromium/Chrome with Microsoft branding 😉 ) and feels like Edge-Windows. No crashes so far.
