    I gotta say I love that Microsoft has the self confidence to think that there are people who use edge on Linux.

      I do. It’s more secure than any other alternative. Not private, but really, really secure.

        How is Edge secure in any way? It isn’t even open source & and both Google (Chromium) and Microsoft add their code to it, so even if Chromium were more secure than Firefox, you could just normal Chromium, couldn’t you?

          Not being open source ≠ not safe.

          Microsoft ships hardened Chromium basically, with sandboxing turned up to eleven.

          They also run their SmartScreen filtering on top of that.

          Also, Firefox is more private, not secure. Either you run LibreFox or it’s less secure than Edge by default.
