Most of Google Chrome’s source code is based on Chromium, a free, open-source software project from Google. ( Source: Backlinko)Ĭhrome was initially built to run on Windows and was later released for Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android. Overall, it is completely usable.See how Kinsta stacks up against the competition. I did have occasional lag when scrolling but remember, this is the Dev version and it’s running in a container. I found Edge to be relatively smooth on my Chromebook and I’ve already discovered some great features such as Microsoft’s Collections that I am really digging. Once installed, you will find the Edge icon in your app launcher and you can use it by simply clicking that icon. Microsoft did state that the Beta build for Edge will be coming soon for Linux and that version should be more stable.
It may be a little buggy but fear not, you still have your Chrome browser to use as a default. Keep in mind, this is the Developer build where developers test new features. Right-click on that file and select “Install with Linux.” Give that a minute to load the description and then you can install the browser. Once you have that downloaded, head to your files folder and find the. Now that you’re ready to go, head over to Microsoft’s Edge download page and grab the Linux build for Debian/Ubuntu. Find out more in our Command Line article here. To get started, you’ll first need to make sure your Chromebook supports Linux apps and that you’ve installed the Linux container. Microsoft recently developed a Linux build of the Chromium-based Edge browser and thanks to the Linux container on Chrome OS, you can now install the Developer version of Edge. While I don’t use Edge because I have no need to, some users may like the idea or actually prefer Microsoft’s browser and that’s okay. Microsoft now works directly with other Chromium developers and the company’s submissions help everyone to create a better product for you, the end-user. Like them or not, Microsoft is the old man in the game and the company brings years of developmental skill to the table.Īs the old saying goes, “a rising tide raises all ships.” When Microsoft shifted to a Chromium-based browser, it was good news for Chrome and anyone else using the platform to build a browser. It wasn’t a pride thing like, “oh yeah, Microsoft is using Google’s stuff.” No, it was quite the opposite. Not that I have any sort of magical insight into the world of technology but I, for one, was actually happy to see the move. That said, a lot of people outside of and inside the Chrome camp stirred up a lot of grief for Microsoft when the company moved its Edge browser to the Chromium platform. While we live almost exclusively inside of Google’s ecosystem, other operating systems and software offerings have their place and if they work for you and yours, you have our blessing. We did on Apple and Microsoft from time to time but seriously, it’s all in fun.
