Microsoft Edge Stable released for Linux

Microsoft has released the first stable version of the new Microsoft Edge web browser for Linux. When Microsoft announced the switch to a Chromium-based web browser in late 2018, it confirmed that the new Edge would be available for additional platforms. The classic version of Microsoft Edge was only released for Windows 10, and this limitation was one of the reasons it wasn’t as successful.

The company released the first public preview of Microsoft Edge for Linux in late 2020, about ten months after the first stable versions of the new browser were released for Windows and Mac OS X.

The initial release officially supported Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE. Microsoft has not disclosed a timeline for the release of the first stable version of Edge for Linux. A beta was eventually released for Linux, but it took Microsoft until the end of October 2021 to release the first stable version of Edge for Linux.

Naked Security first spotted the stable version on the Yum repository. The first stable version of Edge for Linux has the filename microsoft-edge-stable-95.0.1020.38-1.x86_64.rpm, the second version, released a day after the first, has the filename microsoft-edge- stable-95.0 .1020.40-1.x86_64.rpm. RPM files are Red Hat Package Manager files.

Microsoft provides .rpm and .deb packages on its Microsoft Edge Insider website, and it is very likely that these formats will be provided for the stable release as well, once Microsoft makes the official announcement and updates the stable website. Edge.

You can check the repository index for new releases at any time, or download stable, beta, and development versions of Microsoft Edge for Linux.

Microsoft has yet to announce the official release of Edge for Linux on the Microsoft Edge website or elsewhere to my knowledge. Only Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android versions are featured on the official site.

Microsoft Edge Stable is now available for all operating systems that Microsoft wants to support.

Now you: are you using microsoft browser?
