For example, you couldn't do video calls in facebook with it. This, and also, edge was just garbage with video anyway.

If so I will say, a website using free codecs that are part of the w3c standard instead of patented ones that aren't is a good thing always. I can't find anything on this specifically but I'm guessing you are talking about the youtube switch to vp9 from avc.
They were "forced" to because google was changing how youtube displays videos, which broke hardware decoding. If only they'd realize the same with NT and switch windows's kernel to LinuxThey didn't make edge chromium based because they thought chromium was better. Quoting: natis1 Quoting: Guest Quoting: ShabbyXI'm glad they realized they lost this war, and now the poor people that trust microsoft have a working browser.
Having Microsoft made Edge may or may not change their mind. Responsible: As a loyal Firefox advocate, I rather prefer Netflix to keep considering Firefox as an officially supported browser on Linux.

For TV, I have my 4K 50" Android TV that can handle pretty much anything regardless.

Spoiled: I don't require higher than 1080p Netflix on my 15" laptop that Firefox can provide thanks to the aforementioned add-on. Well, I'll act both spoiled and responsible here. Maybe they'll bump the request up the chain for you. On the other hand, I am able to stream 1080p on Firefox thanks to Netflix 1080p add-on.īe the change you want to see, contact Customer Service and ask for 1080p and 4K support in Linux via Edge browser now that it's available. lol Though, it's probably Netflix's end as they are quite strict with browser support, they probably block Edge on Linux due to unknown user agent. Hence, I'll pass.Įdit: Out of curiosity I downloaded and installed Edge to see whether at least 1080p Netflix streaming is available aaaaaand it couldn't play a thing on Netflix.

Quoting: wytrabbit Quoting: rea987Only reason that I would allow it in my PC alongside with Firefox and Chromium would be to be able to watch Netflix 4K but it's still not happening on Linux. You can download from their website or whatever package manager you use.
To celebrate, Microsoft added a Tux character to their little surfing game available at the "edge://surf" address in Edge. Even though most browsers feel largely the same, having the exact same application across platforms is good so people don't need to re-learn so much and keep their accounts together for bookmarks, passwords and whatever else. Will many traditional Linux users switch? That's not really a needed question and plenty will of course say no but having it available is important. Hey, you can even play a ton of AAA games in your browser now too. It feels like a pretty big occasion, although not the first official Microsoft application to actually land on Linux, it might end up being the most used since it's a web browser and so much depends on you using one nowadays. This means Edge will now be supported across Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Linux. On their official Edge blog, they announced that Edge will be launched today via the stable channel making it generally available for Linux. Their browser, now based on the open source Chromium tech, was already available on Linux for a while but this was only in their preview channels but that changes today.
Today they're properly releasing Edge for Linux. Microsoft aren't a company we exactly cover often but it seems fitting to cover it here, especially given their history with Linux.
