Microsoft Edge Browser For Linux Possibly In The Works [NEW]

Preview builds are available for Linux. For any issues related to Microsoft Edge on Linux, either as a Developer or as an Enterprise, please file feedback directly through the browser or by utilizing our TechCommunity forums -edge-insider/ct-p/MicrosoftEdgeInsider. Enterprise support for Microsoft Edge on Linux is coming at a later time.

Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium, the open-source browser engine developed (though not exclusively) by Google. Any website, web app, or web service that works in any Chromium-based browser, such as Google Chrome, will work in Edge too.

Discontinuing support for older versions of Edge will help us to focus on improving Whereby's reliability, quality, and feature set instead of supporting another browser family! Chromium Edge is supported on many different devices and operating systems as old as Windows 7, so update to the new experience here, -us/edge/, if Edge is your browser of choice.

While not as common as it once was, sometimes you'll come across websites that tell you Firefox doesn't work with the page, or you must use Internet Explorer, or other similar warnings. If you know the site works fine in whatever browser you're using, you can swap your user agent to oblige the website without actually changing browsers.

Lightspark is an open-source tool available both as a desktop application and a browser extension. This player runs any kind of Flash-based format on Windows and Linux and works well in Chrome, Opera, Firefox, and other browsers. Lightspark provides an extended set of code-editing features and also allows for viewing H.264 Flash videos on YouTube. You can download it here.

Shubus Viewer works well with diverse multimedia content and processes DCR and Unity3D files smoothly. Another nice feature of Shubus Viewer is that it can be integrated with a web browser and Google Search. You can download Shubus Viewer here.

Lunascape is a cross-platform web browser developed in Japan. Its key differentiator is that it enables users to switch between three rendering engines. Among its many nice features is that Lunascape can play Flash games, videos, and websites seamlessly. It works on all devices and operating systems, and provides broad flexibility in navigating the Internet.

Microsoft Teams is an Electron-based app. Electron works by creating a web application that runs through a customized browser. This is very convenient and makes development quick and easy. However, running a web browser within the context of an application requires traditional browser data like cookies, session strings, and logs.

This is where the root of this issue lies as Electron does not support standard browser controls like encryption, and system-protected file locations are not supported by Electron out of the box but must be managed effectively to remain secure. Therefore, by default the way Electron works incentivizes creating overly transparent applications. Since Electron obfuscates the complexities of creating the application, it is safe to assume that some developers may be unaware of the ramifications of their design decisions and it is common to hear application security researchers bemoan the use of this framework due to critical security oversights.

The team set to work with this knowledge and began to craft tooling that took advantage of these unprotected credentials. After considering multiple options, it was determined that sending a message to the account of the credential holder through Teams with an access token would be appropriate. With this goal in mind, we launched the Teams client in the browser to track API calls when sending messages and found this gem:

Yeah, I'm starting to think that the people saying they can play HD content in linux nowadays either a) can't tell the difference or b) tried in the past (before April) and still assume they can. I've also tried everything with every browser to no avail. 2b1af7f3a8
