How to Install Microsoft Edge on Ubuntu

Are you looking to install Microsoft Edge on your Ubuntu-based Linux system? Look no further! With its sleek interface and robust features, Microsoft Edge is a popular choice among users. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of installing Microsoft Edge on Ubuntu.

Before we begin, it's essential to know that Microsoft Edge collects some diagnostic information about the download, installation, and removal of the app. This behavior is inherited from Google Chrome. However, if you disable data collection through available controls in the Previews, this behavior will cease.

To install Microsoft Edge on Ubuntu, follow these steps:

1. Download the deb package for Microsoft Edge from the official website or the Microsoft package repositories (available in DEB and RPM formats).

2. Extract the downloaded file to a temporary directory using the following command: `mkdir /tmp/msedge && dpkg-deb -x microsoft-edge-dev_93.0.957.0-1_b.deb /tmp/msedge`

3. Create an apt repository by creating the `/etc/apt//microsoft-edge-dev.list` file.

After extraction, you can run Microsoft Edge without installing it by navigating to the `opt/microsoft/msedge-dev/microsoft-edge-dev` directory and executing the `microsoft-edge-dev` command.

Microsoft Edge for Linux is now available in both Beta and Dev Channels at the Microsoft Edge Insider Channels. For those who prefer a more traditional installation experience, packages are also available in deb and rpm formats.

In conclusion, installing Microsoft Edge on Ubuntu is a straightforward process that requires downloading the deb package, extracting it, and creating an apt repository. With its robust features and sleek interface, Microsoft Edge is an excellent choice for Linux users looking to switch from Chrome or Firefox.
