Microsoft Edge, anyone?

cujo@sh.itjust.works to Linux@lemmy.ml – 106 points –

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. 😂

Compared to sidebery plugin (ff)?

It doesn’t do as many extra features that I don’t use, but for tabs and tab groups I prefer the Edge ones and grudgingly use Sidebery.

I hate the Firefox sidebar for most things anyway.

Dragging tabs around and to new windows is much less seamless, the having it contract and automatically expand on hover is much harder (userChrome.css hacks compared to a single button), and it requires a CSS hack to remove the horizontal tab bar. I use Tab Center Reborn myself, but Edge does it better than anything I've used.
