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. 😂

    Why dont use any other browser, like vivaldi, brave, librewolf, ungoogled chromium, that are not made by data hungery big tech like Microsoft.

      Those are all solid options, so you might be tempted to use them. I keep a windows partition on case I need it for something, but I’m never tempted to use it unless I absolutely have to.

      Many of those have shady Histories and CEOs. Many are seemingly made by normal companies, but those are owned by Chinese organizations. The only real alternatives would be Librewolf/FF and Degoogled Chromium. That would be a matter of preference, mostly. And you don’t even have to use Librewolf, you could just use a seperate, clean profile in FF. Launch it with firefox -profilemanager or on about:profiles, @dukeofdummies@lemmy.world

      Or just launch second profile… Firefox / chrome(ium) supports it. No need to use different browser.
