InYourHead   A true cross-platform Edge would be a real plus.  I use Windows and Linux on different computers, and Android on tablets.  I've kept dual browsers (Edge and Firefox) on my Windows computers because Firefox offers Windows/Linux/Android support, but keeping Favorites/Bookmarks/Settings in sync between the two browsers is a PITA. 

 

I like Edge a lot -- it is my preferred browser and has been since Windows 10 was introduced.  The Chromium iteration shows tremendous promise, so it would be great, now that Edge is going to be based on Chromium, if Edge could be ported over to Linux, too.  MS seems to be moving in the direction of offering meaningful support for Linux, so it would be a logical step to take.
