We’ll put you up to date and to recap things a bit, it was at the end of 2018 when Microsoft threw out the towel with the original Microsoft Edge and the proprietary technologies with which it had been created, making the leap to Chromium as the basis with which to develop a renewed web browser that Today it still does not meet expectations at the market level, which does not mean that it is not dazzling more and more users.
The new Microsoft Edge is being very well cared for by the company and not a month goes by without the announcement of the implementation of some feature or improvement with which to continue attracting users. Apart from the privacy and the bad arts to which those from Redmond have returned to try to promote the adoption of the browser, it is a quality alternative that continues to improve and for those who already use Windows, with all that this entails in matters of privacy and dependency, it is an option to consider.
In 2020, we could see the first image of Microsoft Edge running on Linux, but without the possibility of testing it; And just now, the software giant has just announced that the first beta version will be available for download starting in October. That is, in a month we will be able to take a look at the browser, whose download is not clear in what type of format it will be offered.
Microsoft Edge Features
Microsoft Edge is the default web browser for both PC and mobile versions of Windows 10, replacing Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer Mobile. In the beginning, Edge used a rendering engine called “EdgeHTML”, derived from Trident, which was “designed for interoperability with the modern web” but later they decided to lean on the free Chromium project and use Blink.
Edge integrates with Microsoft’s online platforms such as the digital assistant Cortana to provide voice control, search functionality, and personalized dynamic information related to searches in the address bar. Users can annotate web pages and be able to store and share them using OneDrive.
Linux would not need Microsoft Edge because it already has the support of the best web browsers on the market, but surely there are users who use both Windows and Linux, as well as Microsoft Edge, who would like to have the application on all their devices and still We will not know if we will have all the features that this one offers, so the best we can do is wait for it to come out, which is supposed to be this month.
