Microsoft Edge for Linux is compatible with most major distributions , and Microsoft not only provides installers for Linux in two file formats, deb and rpm , on the Microsoft Edge download page, as well. It can also be installed using the package manager used by each Linux distribution.

Microsoft Edge for Linux has most of the features available in Microsoft Edge for Windows or macOS, including passwords, extensions, bookmarks, and tab syncing. Foreign media Ars Technica said, 'For Linux users who need to use Windows for work, it is useful to have a browser that can synchronize data with each other. Some companies want to avoid updating old internal websites. There is no Internet Explorer compatible mode to use, but Microsoft Edge for Linux has most of the features. '

At the time of writing, the most used web browser in the world is Google's Chrome, so most websites around the world are testing to display the site on Chrome. So if you have the same Chromium-based Microsoft Edge as Chrome, you should be able to view most websites. Ars Technica also cites the advantage of Microsoft Edge as 'compatible with most Chrome extensions.'
