Microsoft Might Bring Its Edge Browser To Linux

'Microsoft appears to be porting its Edge browser to Linux, reports ZDNet:

"We on the MS Edge Dev team are fleshing out requirements to bring
Edge to Linux, and we need your help with some assumptions," wrote
Sean Larkin, a member of Microsoft's Edge team....

Chrome, of course, is already available for Linux, so Microsoft should
be able to deliver Chromium-based Edge to Linux distributions with
minimal fuss.... [I]n June Microsoft Edge developers said there are
"no technical blockers to keep us from creating Linux binaries" and
that it is "definitely something we'd like to do down the road".
Despite Chrome's availability on Linux, the Edge team noted there is
still work to be done on the installer, updaters, user sync, and bug
fixes, before it could be something to commit to properly.

Slashdot reader think_nix shared a link to the related survey that the
Edge team has announced on Twitter. "If you're a dev who depends on
Linux for dev, testing, personal browsing, please take a second to
fill out this survey."'
