Edge on Linux
Hello, I work on IT industry and I often use linux distros. The main requirements for the browser is a support for various types of operating systems, like MacOS, Linux and Windows, because I need to sync my bookmarks, passwords and history between different platforms to continue my current tasks. If Edge will not be available under linux, I will not change my current browser. So, is there any chance to see Edge as native application on Linux? I know, that at this moment there is no support for office and similar applications created by microsoft, but you could use shortcuts for web version (office online, one note online, etc). You are doing a grat job and edge for android rocks, but no support for linux is dissapointing.
Sync on Linux
Enjoying the user experience of Edge on Linux. The only thing that I'm missing in order to fully 'devote' myself to the browser is sync (bookmarks/tabs/etc) across devices. Is there currently a rough estimate on when this feature will be available? I tried searching for a discussion but I did not see anything. Thank you!
MS Edge - Sidebar and copilot not working on Linux Ubuntu v24 LTS
Sidebar not syncing or accepting new app additions (+). Copilot button is dead/inactive. Sidebar settings are well configured. Using the latest version of the Ubuntu OS and MS Edge. Functionality appears to be absent as product was released without full functionality....Lame!
Edge Linux: Collections and Workspaces
Hey y'all, I use Edge Dev on both Linux (at home) and Windows (at work). I started using Collections recently, and I was upset to find it doesn't work on Edge Linux (yes, my packages are up to date). Although I haven't tried Workspaces yet, it's not working either on Linux. Even if you enable it, it doesn't show up. I can see that the tab expands, but the button doesn't appear. With Collections, enabling has no effect at all. Is this a known bug, or it just doesn't work on Edge Linux yet? Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS x86_64. Version 115.0.1851.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit).How to view and manage your Microsoft passwords on Linux/Chrome/ChromeOS (Without Edge or mobile)
1. install Google Chrome (or other Chromium based browsers, including Edge itself) 2. install Microsoft Autofill extension 3. Sign into your Microsoft account in the extension 4. Access your Passwords safely and hassle-free * you do Not need to sign in to Google account for this. ** this works on Mac and Windows too, basically any environment where you can install this extension in. The extension also has Import feature, so you can import your passwords at once from a file and save them to your Microsoft account. Questions & answers about Microsoft Authenticator app - Azure AD | Microsoft Docs Q: How are my passwords protected by the Authenticator app? A: Authenticator app already provides a high level of security for multi-factor authentication and account management, and the same high security bar is also extended to managing your passwords. Strong authentication is needed by Authenticator app: Signing into Authenticator requires a second factor. This means that your passwords inside Authenticator app can't be accessed even if someone has your Microsoft account password. Autofill data is protected with biometrics and passcode: Before you can autofill password on an app or site, Authenticator requires biometric or device passcode. This ensures that even if someone else has access to your device, they cannot fill or see your password, as they’d be unable to provide the biometric or device PIN. Furthermore, a user cannot open the Passwords page unless they provide biometric or PIN, even if they turn off App Lock in app settings. Encrypted Passwords on the device: Passwords on device are encrypted, and encryption/decryption keys are never stored and always generated on-the-fly. Passwords are only decrypted when user wants to, that is, during autofill or when user wants to see the password, both of which require biometric or PIN. Cloud and network security: Your passwords on the cloud are encrypted and decrypted only when they reach your device. Passwords are synced over an SSL-protected HTTPS connection, which ensures no attacker can eavesdrop on sensitive data when it is being synced. We also ensure we check the sanity of data being synced over network using cryptographic hashed functions (specifically, hash-based message authentication code).
Adjust Scroll Rate and enable auto scroll if OS is Linux
Hello MS Edge Devs, It would make Edge for Linux nicer to use if it had the same native features as Firefox for scrolling the browser window. It does not seem to have built-in features for enabling auto scroll and adjusting the scroll rate. This capture shows what I am referring to with Firefox This link also describes another feature that I am referring to: https://www.maketecheasier.com/change-the-scrolling-speed-in-firefox/ There are times when I prefer to use Edge vs. Firefox in Linux, but the default and seemingly hidden or not yet implemented controls for scrolling make the browser less convenient to use. I recognise that the browser is in beta for Linux at this time, and plans to implement these features may be on the road map. Thank you Devs for the work that you do 🙂
Screen Share on Linux Build on Wayland does not work
Screen Sharing on Linux build on Wayland needs chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer to be enabled. I've seen this flag on all browsers based on chromium but not Edge, is there a particular reason? In a covid-19 world where online classes and meetings are very important, this flag might be the deal-breaker for many. Please consider adding this flag ( : I'm on the latest Edge Dev but on Arch Linux
