Edge Chromium Coming to Linux as Well, Confirms Microsoft

Nov. 7, 2019

It’s worth noting that while the Windows and macOS versions have seen quite a few canary/ beta releases up until now, this was the first time we heard about a Linux version being in the works, which is certainly good news for all you Mint, Ubuntu and DSL users. Unfortunately, whileyou can already downloadthe Edge Chromium Release Candidate (RC) on Windows and macOS right now, there’s no word when a pre-release version of the software will be available on the open-source platform.GIF Courtesy: Microsoft (via The Verge)

In case you don’t know it already,Microsoft revealed a new iconfor its upcoming Edge Chromium through an elaborate Easter Egg hunt last weekend. As can be seen in the GIF above, the new icon seems to be trying hard to ditch the chequered legacy of Internet Explorer, which is why Microsoft moved away from the EdgeHTML engine and embraced Chromium in the first place.
