Elliot Kirk  Is there any chance you could ask the development team about the status of porting EdgeChromium to Linux as a Snap or Flatpak (at a minimum; native ports would be a plus), and a rough time frame for the port?

 

The reason I'm asking is that I will be working primarily in Linux for the next few weeks (so won't be using Windows much), and that brought the issue to mind again.  A Linux port would be of great value to those of us who use both Windows and Linux regularly because it would allow us to sync favorites/bookmarks without making a weekly/monthly ordeal of the process.

 

I think that EdgeChromium is developing into a solid browser (and one that I would like to make my daily driver), but I'll continue to use Firefox as my daily driver until EdgeChromium is cross-platform between Android/Linux/Windows.  Life is too short to want to coordinate favorites/bookmarks between Edge/Firefox on a regular basis.
