Microsoft chose the virtual Build 2020 to announce some of the long-awaited features and improvements to WSL. Of course, in addition to the information Microsoft decided to share, information was also leaked by users. According to rumors, these users spotted Microsoft engineers using an unreleased version of Edge Chromium for Linux.
Microsoft 's intentions to develop a Linux version of its Edge Chromium browser were first revealed in 2019. The company then conducted a survey asking developers what they wanted from a browser, and has confirmed that Edge for Linux is in the works. Of course, there are also opinions that claim that it is simply another " skin " of Chromium.
Although the company's announcements included Edge Chromium, there was surprisingly no mention of Linux. At least for now, there is no doubt that Edge for Linux exists and will be available for use at some point.
After the failure of Internet Explorer and Legacy Edge, in another attempt to win the market, Microsoft released the Chromium-based Edge this year. Of course, no one expected that there would be no talk of a Linux version, since Microsoft is trying to integrate it into every software. The list of platforms also includes good old Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, which could not support the upgrade of the older Edge browser. For those who don't know, Edge Chromium will be updated for Windows 7 later this year, even though its upgrades have expired.
Among these new Edge features are improved Pinterest functionality . Microsoft has enabled “Collection” integration with Pinterest, which will allow users to export data from their Collection directly to their account. There will also be a side search box, which will make the browser easier to use and allow users to find information without having to leave the website. The updates will be available in the coming weeks to Edge Insider channels .
