Релиз Dev-версии Microsoft Edge для Linux. Как установить браузер

В январе 2020 года компания Microsoft выпустила новый Microsoft Edge на основе Chromium для систем Windows и macOS. Edge также доступен для мобильных устройств Android и iOS, а теперь и пользователи Linux могут попробовать новый браузер от Microsoft.

С 20 октября 2020 года пользователи могут установить тестовую сборку (на канале Dev) Microsoft Edge для Linux. Она включает все основные функции, включая поддержку плавной прокрутки, расширений Google, тем и др.

Microsoft отметила, что стремится предоставить разработчикам лучший опыт при работе с Edge на Chromium. Браузер разработан специально для того, чтобы помочь разработчикам создавать и тестировать свои сайты или приложения в Linux.

К сожалению, в ранней тестовой сборке существует ряд ограничений. По заявлению Microsoft, некоторые функции и службы для конечных пользователей могут сейчас не работать. Кроме того, пользователи могут использовать только свои локальные учетные записи для настройки Edge и не могут воспользоваться учетной записью Microsoft или AAD для входа.

Dev-версия в настоящее время поддерживает дистрибутивы Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora и openSUSE. Microsoft подтвердила, что пользователи могут загружать браузер как в пакете .deb, так и в пакете .rpm прямо с его веб-сайта. Однако, для корректной установки браузера нужно будет использовать Терминал, так как при двойном клике по пакету .deb или .rpm установка не выполняется.

После этого используйте следующие команды для установки Microsoft Edge Dev:

Вы можете запустить браузер из средства запуска Ubuntu. Вы также можете обновить сборки Edge вручную с помощью команды sudo apt update , а затем использовать sudo apt upgrade для обновления всех пакетов. Вы также можете использовать sudo apt install microsoft-edge-dev только для обновления Microsoft Edge Dev.

How to Install Microsoft Edge on Ubuntu & Linux Mint

With Microsoft Edge for Linux now in beta learn how to install it on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and related Linux distributions.

As it’s based on the same foundation as Google Chrome, you can use Chrome extensions in Edge

This guide shows you how to install Microsoft Edge on Ubuntu (or any Ubuntu-based Linux distribution for that matter, like Linux Mint) in two ways: a graphical (GUI) method, and a command line (CLI) method.

It doesn’t matter which method you choose as you will download and install the exact same version of Microsoft’s new-fangled browser. Plus, both methods set things up so that you get future updates when they’re released, automatically.

Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium, the open-source browser engine developed (though not exclusively) by Google. Any website, web app, or web service that works in any Chromium-based browser, such as Google Chrome, will work in Edge too.

Even better: you can install Chrome extensions in Edge too (though Microsoft maintains its own extension hub for browser add-ons).

Read our hands on with Edge for Linux development builds for a broader overview on what works, what doesn’t, and what you should keep in mind if you plan to use it otherwise.

How to Install Edge Browser on Ubuntu

Keep in mind that Microsoft Edge for Linux is in beta. It is not yet considered “stable”. Some features are also unsupported on Linux.

Please note: this article is about how to install Edge on Ubuntu, not why you should install it. You decide which software you use on your system. And if you don’t want Edge? That’s fine! But you probably won’t be reading a “how to” guide on the topic!

Graphical/GUI way

Installing Edge using a graphical user interface is easy as Microsoft provide official installer packages for Ubuntu and Fedora-based distros. You can use these builds to install the browser on your system using your distribution’s package manager.

1. Go to Microsoft Edge Download Page

In a web browser open the official Microsoft Edge download page. There you’ll find two builds for Linux. Chose the ‘Linux (.deb)’ option for Ubuntu.

2. Download Edge for Linux

Choose to save the .deb package to your Downloads folder (or any other. directory you can access easily). If you’re using Firefox you can check the “Save File” option to do this.

3. Double click on the installer

Let the download complete then use your file manager to find the Edge Linux installer. Finally, double-click on the saved file to start installing and follow the on-screen prompts.

When you install using the official installer the Microsoft Edge repository is added to your system’s list of software sources. You can upgrade to new versions of the browser as they’re released using the regular Software Updater tool.

4. Open Microsoft Edge.

Let the install finish up then open the browser from the Applications grid (or whatever app menu, launcher, etc you use on your system.

Terminal/CLI way

Prefer to install software from the command line? We got you covered. Just copy/paste the following commands in to your terminal emulator of choice.

First: the set-up script. This adds the Microsoft Edge repo to your system, and imports the Microsoft GPG key to authenticate packages (so that you can be sure they are what they say they are):

Second step: run this command to actually install Microsoft Edge:

Once done, launch the browser from your favourite app launcher, or run microsoft-edge-beta from a command prompt.

How to Uninstall Edge

So you installed Edge. Grand. And you try it out. Awesome. But what happens if you want to remove it? Well, it’s easy to uninstall Microsoft Edge using the command line.

Just open a new Terminal window and run:

Alternatively you can open the Ubuntu Software app, search for ‘edge’ by name, click the result, and hit the ‘remove’ button.

Summary

That’s it; you learned how to install Microsoft Edge browser on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and other distributions in this article. All that’s left for you to do now is to open the browser up and start surfing the web!

It remains to be seen if Edge will find a big enough audience on Linux to sustain itself. The browser is up against stiff competition from the likes of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Vivaldi.

While most Linux users will shudder at the thought of using it, I think it’s great to have the choice of using Edge on Linux.

Current advantage of using Edge on L-Mint 20-C:

The Immersive Reader function, which reads aloud the text of a page. If I am reading, they want to get up to hit the kitchen or bathroom, I can have it read on for me. I have an Intel NUC-PC tethered by HDMI to my (55″ 4K Sceptre dumb) HDTV, and also directly to my component sound system so that I can hear it anywhere in the home.

The IR function is a book icon located on the right side of the omnibar (using Chrome parlance); you click on it when there’s text on the page, and another bar drops down offering “Read Aloud” & “Text Preferences” & “Grammar Tools” & “Reading Preferences”. Click on read aloud and it reads whatever is allowed in Reader Mode; you can set the speed, the voice, and other settings. I use a UK female voice as my reader. I’m using Edge right now! But I also have installed,

You can get extensions to do this (e.g. FF & Chrome’s “Read Aloud Text to Speech Voice Reader”), but this is not only built-in, but it works far better and is more natural sounding than the extensions perform, as they sound like annoying AI computer voices. But perhaps in time, they’ll get better. I’m using Edge right now, but I also have FF and (the other Chromium-based browsers) Chrome & Opera.

Well, for a month I’ve been running the MS Edge Dev version (that’s all there is so far), and while it has many good features that I like overall, like those mentioned in this article and the comments, unfortunately, it has one behavior that is no longer acceptable.

Each time I restart or boot up my Linux Mint system, and then click on an html file extension, it has reset to open it in MS Edge. In my settings, it has always been Text Editor (Gedit or Xed), as all us web developers edit html files this way.

I’ve had Firefox (forever my default browser in Linux OS’s), Chrome or Chromium, and Opera browsers, on my system for years, but they never took over my default settings like this.

I reset it in the Default Applications, as well as reset it in the ‘Open With’ function by selecting ‘other’ and then setting Text Editor as the default, but both settings are overwritten the next time I boot the system up. So, I will uninstall it for now and hope they can fix this behavior, otherwise, it is not for me, as I do not like any program that resets established defaults.

What is the advantage, if any, of using Edge rather than Firefox, Chrome, Brave, or any of the browsers running on Linux? What does Edge bring to the table that other browsers don’t?

• 

The advantage is that Firefox is now swamped by feedbacks that it blocked feedback. Also, there are voices that their team shrinks. Their browser is not compatible with quite a few websites that you have to resort to Chrome/Chromium/Edge/Safari in order to make some buttons work or be available.

One example is that Firefox on mobile will not work with AOL e-mail – you have to either download their app or use a different browser. The reason is that rendering and some browser logic does not allow to drop off some AOL “popup”. Also over time Firefox became a resource hog and has problems with dispatching processes creating hundreds of threads on CPUs with very few cores.

Not the best idea when you see that your computer’s CPU is 30-40% of the time used by Firefox and it is 24/7 No. 1 process at CPU usage. This used to be Chrome, but now it is Firefox for some reasons. Edge on the same computer seems to be working far better. It makes sense to send feedback to Microsoft and help them improve it.

After all, Firefox blocked their feedback channel and they do not necessarily are open to change when given constructive feedback. They do not also seem to understand business/corporate culture to be able to help themselves put a foot into company doors. Microsoft on the other hand has decades of experience in that area and now changes to better and proven ways of the Internet rather than old ways of Internet Explorer.

I installed it on CentOS and I can run it without any errors…
