This video looks at the Linux developers release of Microsoft Edge. You can install it via.deb or.rpm.#Microsoft #Edge #Linuxhttps://www.microsoftedgeinsid. Microsoft Edge is a cross-platform web browser developed by Microsoft.It was first released for Windows 10 and Xbox One in 2015, then for Android and iOS in 2017, for macOS in 2019, and as a preview for Linux in October 2020. Apart from Windows, It works on Android, iOS, macOS and now Linux. Install Microsoft Edge On Linux. Currently, Microsoft Edge preview builds supports DEB-based systems, such as Debian and Ubuntu, and RPM-based systems such as Fedora and openSUSE. The Edge devs are planning to release the versions for other Linux distributions in the days to come.

Yes, the latest dev builds of Microsoft Edge for Linux supports sign-in and sync using a Microsoft Account. This feature has been missing since Edge’s Linux debut in the autumn of last year. The lack of bookmark and account info sync is the only thing keeping some users from using Edge as their default browser.

See:

Of course, there is a caveat to this news: you can only sign-in and sync using a personal Microsoft Account (sorry to any AAD users out there). If you don’t already have a Microsoft Account you’ll need to sign up for one first.

Microsoft Sync is enabled by default in Edge version 91.0.838.x and later. If you use an older build you may be able to enable the ‘MSA sign-in’ feature on the edge://flags page.

If you don’t enable the MSA sign in experiment or you’re using an older build you will continue to see the “oh no! platform not supported” message when attempting to sign in:

Once done, just launch Edge, click the account button in the main toolbar, sign in with your details, choose what settings you wish to sync, and away you go. The sync (including settings) works between OSes. You can sync your Edge browser on Windows with your Edge browser on Ubuntu, and so on.

Is Microsoft Edge the best web browser for Linux? That’s subjective and not what this article is addressing. Only you can decide what works for you based on your needs, your outlook, and your ideals. Not that these disclaimers are strictly necessity. Chances are no-one is reading a post about Edge if they’re not not into it 💁🏻‍♂️ — but my point stands: this is news, not a recommendation.

That said, I have pitched my tent in the camp that prefers having a choice to not use something over no choice to use it all.

*cough* Adobe *cough*

Microsoft's Chromium-based Edge for Linux is getting sign-in and sync support for saving favourites, passwords, browser data and extensions across devices.

The sync feature is shipping in Edge 91.0.831.1 to the Dev channel, so it should ship in the Stable channel in a few weeks.

Microsoft notes that the feature is only supported for personal Microsoft Accounts at the moment, meaning Azure Active Directory (AAD) accounts are not supported yet.

Additionally, users may need to enable a flag in order to see this setting. This can be done by typing 'edge://flags' in the address bar, and searching for and enabling the 'MSA sign in' experiment.

After signing into the profile dialog, users can select Sync to sync favouites, passwords, and other browsing data across devices used with that account. The profile dialog displays the sync status.

Microsoft warns that as a Dev channel build, the sync feature might come with a few glitches. But it has also listed a range of mitigation options for troubleshooting any problems, such as browser crashes.

Microsoft released Edge for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE Linux distributions in October, but it's still in a developer preview, which doesn't support AAD yet.

Another update for Edge on Linux is the ability to use the system theme.

Microsoft notes that it's investigating an issue where some extensions, such as the Microsoft Editor extension, don't work on Linux. As soon as they're installed, they crash and are disabled, according to Microsoft.

Microsoft has also released 14 new theme colours in Settings for users to personalise the interface. These can be found in the Theme section, along with the recently released set of Microsoft-developed themes, which include a few from Xbox such as Halo, Sea of Thieves and Microsoft Flight Simulator. Themes are unique to each profile to make it easier to distinguish between personal and work profiles.
