We’re covering this because it’s available for Linux. + +### Microsoft Edge for Linux: What’s There to Like? + +![][3] + +It is no surprise that Microsoft Edge is based on open-source Chromium. So, yes, it is just another [Chromium-based browser for Linux][4]. + +However, when compared to Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge offers a good user experience and some extra functionalities that may come in handy for Windows users. + +As per my experience on Windows 10, Microsoft Edge seems to offer better performance compared to Google Chrome, but I haven’t compared any benchmarks for that matter. + +So, would it be useful for Linux? Is there any reason that you should try it out? + +Of course, if you do not prefer using Microsoft services, that is an entirely different story. But, overall, Microsoft Edge looks like a promising Chromium-based browser with some useful features. + +Some of the key features available for Linux include: + + * Sleeping tabs (to save resources) + * Vertical tabs + * Collections + * Tracking Prevention + + + +![][5] + +While it also supports the family safety option when configured with your Microsoft account, not every feature is available for Linux. + +Moreover, I did not find the “Kids Mode” for Linux, which can come in handy. + +And, if you use other desktop platforms along with Linux, Microsoft Edge can be a good pick for cross-platform adventure. + +If you want to try it only for Linux, you may want to compare it with other browsers before you conclude with a decision. + +### Download Microsoft Edge for Linux + +Wondering about [installing Microsoft Edge browser on Linux][6]? Even though the [official site for Microsoft Edge][7] does not reflect the option for Linux, you can find it in their official repositories. + +Both **DEB/RPM** packages are available. You can download the packages using the links below. + +[Microsoft Edge (deb)][8] + +[Microsoft Edge (rpm)][9] + +**Via:** [Sophos][10] + +#### Big Tech Websites Get Millions in Revenue, It's FOSS Got You! + +If you like what we do here at It's FOSS, please consider making a donation to support our independent publication.
