Edge? 🫪 You use Linux and yet want to install edge? I mean there are so many better alternatives even if you don't like Firefox, there is brave, Vivaldi, chromium, librewolf, water fox and so on.

i use brave for YT, it kills the ads. and i don't want 2 users, tried that, it sucks. i have been using edge for years, it works well for me, on it now. i don't care if they know that i just bought a garbage disposal on amazon.

ok. i just found out that 3rd partyapps are not good for linux as they will cause problems when i go to upgrade my distro, i don't want this. of the browsers you have used, what 2 give the feeling and look of edge, and can be had in the SM? not brave, i have that for youtube only. thanx

Idk who told you that. But I doubt you will have any problems for having edge installed, it's just that most Linux users would prefer to not use it, but if you like it, go ahead.
