Several operating systems and lots of work later, Redmond even decided to give up its deprecated product entirely in favor of a rebranded, more capable alternative, Microsoft Edge. Gone are the days when Microsoft was trying to push its infamous browser, Internet Explorer, to users out there. It's not necessarily a replacement for Chrome on a Chromebook, but nobody says you have to use Google's browser.NOTE: Internet Explorer 11 has retired as of June 15, 2022 Extensions can be installed from both the Edge and Chrome extension stores, features like collections and family tools are built-in, and while none of the flags in edge://flagsĪppear to mention Linux, there's a ton in there to play around with. There are things missing at the moment, like Microsoft Account sync, but the basic browser is essentially what you'd find on Windows. Once the process is complete, you can launch Edge from your Linux Apps folder in your app drawer or pin it to your shelf for easier access. curl | gpg -dearmor > microsoft.gpgsudo install -o root -g root -m 644 microsoft.gpg /etc/apt//sudo sh -c 'echo 'deb stable main' > /etc/apt//microsoft-edge-dev.list'sudo rm microsoft.gpgsudo apt updatesudo apt install microsoft-edge-devįlag to the final line, the only interaction you'll be required to make is to press Y to confirm you want to install. Just copy and paste the following code block into your terminal. It's a quick and easy way to keep everything up to date, too, and fortunately, Microsoft has produced all the code you'll need to get going.
Microsoft Edge can be installed this way by first adding the Microsoft PPA. If you're enabling Linux on your Chromebook, you will at some point have to get relatively comfortable with the terminal.
