I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious… does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?

EDIT: Well, you all have provided some interesting perspectives I hadn’t ever considered. Including one which means I’ll have to install Edge, so… thanks, I guess. 😂

    I don’t use it for browsing but only for two use cases :

    • Editing PDFs. Firefox does it, but stupidly if you reopen the file you can’t edit previous edits. Like you write something on the pdf, turn off your computer, a day later you want to edit the text, you can’t. But Edge remembers text blocks and you can edit even after you reopen the file. That’s why I use it
