Microsoft has released a preview version of Edge on its Dev Channel that runs on Linux.
Microsoft on Tuesday released its first-ever browser for Linux, delivering a preview of Edge on its Dev Channel that runs on the open-source OS. Edge’s appearance made good on an earlier Microsoft promise that it would make it available this month. « With this release, Microsoft Edge is now available for all major desktop and mobile platforms, » Kyle Pflug, a principal program manager lead in the developer experiences group, said in a post to a company blog. Edge was already available for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 and macOS, as well as for the Android and iOS mobile operating systems. Like other Dev Channel previews, Linux’s Edge will be updated on a weekly schedule. Microsoft, like Google’s Chrome — the better-known browser also built atop technology created by the open-source Chromium project — maintains several different « channels, » named Canary, Dev, Beta and Stable.
