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.
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
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!

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).
App Mode / Kiosk Mode in Linux

Edge on Linux Mint; update didn't work, Edge won't start anymore - solved
Hi, I updated Edge on Linux Mint 18 to the latest version, but it seems the update broke Edge. It doesn't start anymore, I get a spinning wheel for a while, and that's it. The update procedure was basically the same as in Windows, I clicked the notification icon in the top right corner, and had Edge update & restart. Strangely enough, I didn't get a popup to run the update through the admin account, as is usual for updates. I did notice after the first try that the Edge update was also visible in the Update Manager, but that didn't solve the issue after running that process as well. So now Edge doesn't run. Any tips here? cheers! rob edit: it seems a full reboot of Linux did the trick. No idea what happened here, but at least if works again. 😉
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).
Microsoft Edge Dev crashes on a regular basis unless I'm running it from the Linux terminal
(Reposted from Microsoft Answers Community: Link) This started happening yesterday, and even after downgrading 2 versions back, then upgrading again, the issue won't go away. Here's what's going on: When I start Microsoft Edge Dev normally, through a shortcut on Linux, the browser opens fine, and will usually crash ~10 minutes later, or sometimes a few minutes later. But, when I start it from the terminal, it runs pretty fine, with very few crashes. Here's the output log: $ microsoft-edge-dev libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null) [8447:8447:0123/133205.683161:ERROR:assistance_home_client.cc(32)] File path /home/user/.config/microsoft-edge-dev/Default MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information MESA-LOADER: failed to open nvidia-drm: /usr/lib/dri/nvidia-drm_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:\$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri) failed to load driver: nvidia-drm MESA-LOADER: failed to open zink: /usr/lib/dri/zink_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:\$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri) failed to load driver: zink MESA-LOADER: failed to open kms_swrast: /usr/lib/dri/kms_swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:\$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri) failed to load driver: kms_swrast MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast: /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:\$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri) failed to load swrast driver [8447:8447:0123/133209.219594:ERROR:smartscreen_dns_resolver.cc(110)] SmartScreenDnsResolver::OnComplete Error: -7 DidTimeOut: 1 URL: https://ntp.msn.com/edge/ntp?locale=en-US&title=New%20tab&dsp=0&sp=DuckDuckGo&startpage=1&PC=U531 [8447:8447:0123/133213.657014:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(622)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.GetActive: object_path= /org/freedesktop/ScreenSaver: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported: This method is not implemented Warning: disabling flag --expose_wasm due to conflicting flags (note here: the expose_wasm warning keeps reappearing multiple times during the time the browser is open) [8447:8447:0123/133930.176470:ERROR:interface_endpoint_client.cc(695)] Message 0 rejected by interface blink.mojom.WidgetHost [27075:1:0123/150305.181159:ERROR:picture_in_picture_overlay_agent.cc(49)] Connection to PIPOverlayDriver dropped [8492:8518:0123/150655.507233:ERROR:x11_software_bitmap_presenter.cc(142)] XGetWindowAttributes failed for window 10485928 [8447:8447:0123/161844.895173:ERROR:smartscreen_dns_resolver.cc(110)] SmartScreenDnsResolver::OnComplete Error: -7 DidTimeOut: 1 URL: https://kerstinmartin.com/blog/copyright-notice [8492:8492:0123/172329.479822:ERROR:shared_image_manager.cc(197)] SharedImageManager::ProduceSkia: Trying to Produce a Skia representation from a non-existent mailbox.

I have submitted 1 crash report yesterday, but until this might be fixed, what can I do?
