Microsoft Edge
Drop-in replacementFreeThe official Linux version from Microsoft. Nothing to relearn.
Does Microsoft Edge run on Linux?
Verdict: Yes
Yes. Microsoft publishes Edge for Linux from its own download page, and signing in with your Microsoft account brings your favourites, passwords and collections with you.
Microsoft's Edge download page offers a Linux installer file directly. This is a real, supported build from Microsoft rather than a community effort, and it updates alongside the rest of your system once installed.
It is the same browser you know. Favourites, collections, vertical tabs, the sidebar and Chrome Web Store extensions all work, and protected video services such as Netflix play normally. Signing in with your Microsoft account syncs favourites, passwords, history and settings across from Windows.
A few Windows-only touches are missing, mostly the deeper hooks into Windows itself. If your workplace uses Edge for single sign-on to Microsoft 365, that generally still works, and Edge is often the smoothest way to use Teams and Outlook on the web on Linux.
If you never signed in to Edge on Windows, export your favourites to a file before you switch. Otherwise signing in on Linux is all that is needed.
