Hey, AntiMatter Good Guy, you can run ChromEdge in Linux. https://askubuntu.com/questions/8409...-edge-on-linux Take the Windows 7 download version and run it under WINE. As the graphics might work better in the Windows 7 version. Let's hope it's using something other than crypt32.dll and Schannel. Paul |

But it also has IE mode. So is MS chasing Google's tail lights, or is it more like a venus fly trap, absorbing nutriment any garbage-living fly who stops by? At any rate, it's ridiculous to talk about any of these browsers being OSS. Firefox is OSS. The core from Apple is OSS. The similarity stops there. When you don't have any choice about software calling home to report your activities, that's not OSS. People can see The Edg "license" here, on the "features" page. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/features (If it's not visible, disable CSS.) Parts of the browser are OSS, but the browser itself is not. The license includes forced updates. Also... "2.5 Communications with You. Microsoft may use your contact information (i) to communicate with you about your use of the Software, and (ii) to provide you with additional information, about the Software and other Microsoft products or services." In other words, expect ads in the brower. "2.7 Data Collection. The Software may collect information about you and your use of the Software and send that to Microsoft." In other words, this product is spyware. Expect targetted ads. It then goes on to say you may not "reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Software". They also claim you agree to them calling you on the phone or texting you with surveys or ads. And they claim you waive the right to take part in a class action lawsuit. Also, you are not allowed to remove popups or "notices" in the browser. They even explain that you are banned from using the product illegally or in a not-nice way. (section 2.8) Imagine a hunting knife with a license that claims, "By using this knife you agree that it will not be used to clean or butcher illegally hunted animals. Nor will it be used to cut, scrape, or score any material illegally obtained or in any way that could conceivably impose on the rights of others. If you disobey this agreement you will forfeit your right to use the knife." So much for OSS. This is a further step in defining software as a service. In this case it's the browser. We're only a hop, skip and a jump away from browser makers arguing that, "We spy less and show less ads that the other guy." And Win10 denizens will probably think that sounds good. |

It even behaves like free software. https://i.postimg.cc/XNQvvJg6/edge-o...x-gebroken.gif WINE worked a lot of magic to get that far. And, it was quiet while doing it. I assumed the install failed, because the log messages stopped happening. But the install appears to have finished. I moved one of my Terminal windows out of the way, and was shocked to see a desktop icon. The launch command (which I can't find) has a "do-not-deelevate" parameter in the command, and that's why the command thinks it is running as administrator. I can't control that using just that stinkin icon on the desktop. But this is why they make puzzles, to keep you busy. Notice that the fonts are pretty terrible looking. The browser looks like a wooden chair in a rustic rural setting, that's been standing in the sun too long and the paint is coming off. "It's our best browser yet" Paul |

They said they were making one for Linux, but it hasn't been seen yet. Maybe the licenses don't line up or something. Like, a "lawyer problem" is stopping it. Maybe if they'd written it in Java, it would run anywhere :-) (MsJava of course.) Paul |

Chromium-Based Edge Browser Is Now Available
I run Windows 10. I've always hated Edge but I thought I would give the
new version a chance, so I just downloaded and installed it. I also hate Chrome, and I greatly prefer FireFox over all the other choices of browsers. To me, the most important differences between browsers have to do with their interface, not with their speed. I also don't care whether what I consider to be an improvement in the interface is built-in or comes from an extension. When I look at the new Edge, to me it looks much like the old Edge, so I thought I would ask several questions about it that are important to me, and I hope that someone here can provide some information about it. In no particular order: 1. Is it possible to have a menu bar? 2. Is it possible to have a new page, whether invoked from a link, from a search, or any other way, automatically open in a new tab rather than the existing one, keeping all already open tabs open? 3. Is it possible to have favorites in a sidebar, rather than a toolbar? With today's widescreen monitors, I think that's greatly preferable. 4. Is it possible to have a separate search bar, and not have to use the bar in which URLs are entered? 5. Is it possible to change the order of toolbars? 6. Is it possible to have mouse gestures? I especially want gestures for close tab, go to the previous page, go to the top of the page, and go to the bottom of the page. 7. Is it possible to have have multiple URLs for a home page? 8. Is it possible to have a toolbar button for Enpass, my preferred password manager? 9. Is it possible to have a toolbar button for TinyURL or some similar program? 10. Any extensions that are particularly recommended? Any other comments about differences between with FireFox and the new Edge, and what makes you think either is better than the other would be greatly appreciated. -- Ken |
