Firefox has been nice due to the privacy features and container tabs which is not yet (if ever) available on Edge. My contentment with the browser scene has been rather low as of late. I only used Chrome for work and use it sparingly now. For the last 4 years or so, it has been a slow, crashy, system-interfering browser, therefore, I have been using Firefox and Falkon as my go-to browsers. To keep our definitions straight, I consider bloat to be anything that causes significant loss of system performance or makes using your system less enjoyable (not software installed you don’t use, that can be plucked out). It felt like a breath of browser fresh air. In the beginning of the last decade, Google Chrome came onto the scene in spectacular fashion. I have found them frustrating, to say the least. I don’t generally get too excited about browsers. Having a browser engine that has already been adapted to work for Linux must have definitely come in handy while porting it to the platform.I am not one to jump on any bandwagon or get excited over anything unless I have good reason. The move to support Linux desktops comes after Microsoft decided to drop support for their own browser engine for Edge and choose the open-source Chromium browser engine that powers Google Chrome and most other browsers on the web except Firefox.

Sync currently works only with regular Microsoft accounts, so you'll probably need to make sure you have one before you start syncing. However, users who are already opening the Software Center to look for an update to Edge must note there's a catch. Edge will also sync your browser passwords, but you should probably be using a password manager instead of your browser for that. Browser syncing is now one of the most important features that users expect in any modern web browser and having the feature arrive on Linux systems will come in very handy for users who are already using Edge on Windows and want their bookmarks, extensions, settings, and history to sync between their devices.
