Microsoft has announced that its Chromium-based Edge web browser is now generally available on the Linux platform via the stable channel.
With the release of Edge for Linux to the stable channel, Edge is now available on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Linux.
Linux is a Unix-like, open-source, and community-developed operating system (OS) for computers, servers, mainframes, mobile devices, and embedded devices.
It is supported on almost every major computer platform, including x86, ARM, and SPARC.
The Linux version of Edge shares most of the same features that are available on Windows and macOS. Microsoft has also added a number of privacy features to Edge to limit tracking and cookies.
Earlier, Microsoft warned customers about a new crypto mining malware that can steal credentials, remove security controls, spread via emails and ultimately drop more tools for human-operated activity.
