    Me, but because I need chromium for work and refuse to use Chrome. Firefox for everyday browsing.

  Is there even a stable version for Linux? Last time I’ve checked it was still in beta

    There’s a download link for .deb and .rpm on Microsoft’s website, with no disclaimer that it’s beta.

  I use it for work - it allows me to keep things separate.

    Use different user accounts. That provides you with very stronger isolation and separation of concerns, with the bonus that you won’t be exposed to their crap.

    • HellAwaits@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      How about you just let them use whatever works for them?

      source
  • nogrub@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    you can use a work sandbox in firefox to keep it seperate

• aksdb@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Used it for a while. One very nice feature is that when you use multiple profiles, you can specify in which of those external links open in. Every other browser opens them in the window that last had focus so I regularly have work related links open up in the private profile.

  Also the performance was quite nice.

  But since they continuously rub new services in my face with new versions, I ditched it again.

  • people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Mozilla’s “Multi-Account Containers” extension on Firefox does a much better job at the multiple profiles feature you’ve described.

    source

    • aksdb@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I miss the tab grouping from Chrome based browsers in Firefox.

      An I think tab containers don’t provide the separation I need to properly separate work from private.

      source

      • jbk@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        You might be better off using a custom Firefox profile for that then. Not too well integrated UI-wise sadly though

    You can do that in Chrome too, if you have multiple chrome profiles right clicking on links give you the option to open it in a different profiles window

    source

    • aksdb@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yes, but with “external” I meant opening links from other apps like Slack.

      source

      • MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yeah that’s what I mainly used it for. I would right click links on slack and make sure it would open on my work profile or not depending on the context of the link.

        Although this could potentially have been when I used the web app rather than the installed app, so i may be misremembering

    It’s like they want to drive away the experienced users who don’t need their hands held and rarely need support to focus on the part of the market that will still find ways to break things no matter how much they dumb it down.

    is this similar to Firefox containers? dunno why mozzila makes it as a plugin and hasn’t bundled it in yet as a standard feature, literally can’t live without it.

    source

    • aksdb@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Not quite. Let’s say I have two profiles: “work” and “private”. If I have both open at the same time, they are separate browser windows with different tabs, different settings and different extentions.

      I can now specify that external links open in “work”. If I now click on a link in Slack or in Thunderbird, they open up in the window with the “work” profile, even if the “private” window was the last active one.

  Just installed Edge on Arch after a disastrous Teams call with Firefox and Chromium, figured it was worth trying MS’ browser next time but I’m not holding my breath.

  source

  • TheActualDevil@sffa.community ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Edge is just Chromium. When they retired IE they switched. It might still work better because it’s the default supposedly built to work with their products so their tweaks should help. But it is Teams and they’ve been doing a lot more updates lately. Did you update to the new version of Teams they’ve been pushing? It’s bad and it’s performance is bad, so that can cause issues.

      The Linux app was discontinued last year, I read that we’re supposed to use the PWA now, has it changed?

• people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  On Windows it’s visibly the most resource-efficient browser out there. Maybe it holds up on Linux as well?

  They have the ability to run two websites side by side in one tab. No other browser does that. It’s insanely useful

  source
• CoderKat@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Only thing I can think of is if you are developing a website or extension and need to make sure there isn’t some subtle browser difference. Though since it uses the same engine as Chrome, that use case should be a lot more niche than it used to be.

  source

  • SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Heh reminds me when I was doing web development back in the day and had IE running on Linux. It actually made more sense to test compatibility with IE by running it through wine on Linux than actually doing it on Windows because I could have multiple versions of IE installed at the same time.

  Beats setting up a Windows VM and extracting a Windows license from asset management if you a have to support Edge customers.
