I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious… does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?

EDIT: Well, you all have provided some interesting perspectives I hadn’t ever considered. Including one which means I’ll have to install Edge, so… thanks, I guess. 😂

    I use edge on Ubuntu via the snap.

    It lets me use a very specific website that doesn’t work in Firefox.

    It also lets me play Xbox cloud games on Linux.

    Otherwise it’s Firefox soon the way.

      I can’t remember for sure but I think that I got Xbox cloud games working on Firefox before with thr user agent switcher back when I had it, it also works well for those sites that don’t work in Firefox sometimes.

      That’s a YMMV thing though because sometimes the sites just genuinely don’t work in Firefox rather than just being blocked because they haven’t tested it
