    Hi,
    I had this scaling issue today after installing Edge beta on Kubuntu (KDE) and we found a solution from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPI#Chromium_/_Google_Chrome

    Launch Edge with the following flags: --high-dpi-support=1 --force-device-scale-factor=2
    To make these changes permanent, copy the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications and add the flags to "Exec" before the "%U" in the file.

    This will override's Edge's scaling and forces an absolute scale of 2 (1 = 100%, 2 = 200%).

    Hope this helps!
