Microsoft Edge for Linux: A Browser the Software Giant "Would Prefer to Do"
نوشته شده توسط : jiajiasnow

Microsoft announced in late 2018 that it'd switch Edge browser towards the Chromium engine, the same one that's getting used by Google Chrome.

This decision technically allows Microsoft to convert Microsoft Edge from the Windows 10-exclusive browser to some cross-platform application.

The company has already confirmed Microsoft Edge would be released beyond Windows 10, and existing preview builds also permit the browser to be installed on macOS.

The migration to Chromium would technically permit the company to bring Edge to Linux as well, and given its efforts to obtain more active in the open-source world, this type of release wouldn't come as a surprise whatsoever.

Linux version possible in the long run

And after Microsoft suggested that it's indeed considering a Linux version of Edge in May at the Build developer conference, the Edge team now emphasizes this is "something we'd like to do in the future." However, the priority right now is to get the Windows and macOS ready for users first and only take a look into other projects.

"We haven't any technical blockers to stay from creating Linux binaries, and it's definitely something we want to do down the road. That being said, there is still work to make them "customer ready" (installer, updaters, user sync, bug fixes, etc.) and something we are proud to offer to you, therefore we aren't quite ready to commit to the work just yet," the team said in a reddit AMA.

"Right now, we're super centered on bringing stable versions of Edge first to other versions of Windows (as well as macOS), and then releasing our Beta channels. Having said that, we love hearing the ask and particularly love details if this sounds like vital that you your test infrastructure or elsewhere in your development lifecycle therefore we could validate and prioritize the work!"

Microsoft Edge for Windows 10 and macOS happens to be available as preview builds shipped through Dev and Canary channels. Beta builds aren't public at this time and there's no ETA as to once the production version of the browser could go live.
