Switching to Flathub is not a solution, because of the security policy we have and also because of the memory usage. I'm pretty sure it consume lot more memory than the native browser.

true, it's not the solution, just a workaround. But i prefer Silverblue, so Flatpak is the way. i think, this is a very robust and secure solution, more secure than running Edge on a "normal" Distro. 😉

    Just another data point - same crash on Fedora 37, but only with a 'work' account. Normal personal Microsoft Account doesn't have the issue (at least not for me.)

    DarkMac David665 I had been using Edge on Fedora since the beginning. I've even got a few private conversations with internal M$ people on this subject. All I can say publicly is "I'm using Chrome."

    So if I'm not using it, it means ... what? Not sure what your remark should be all about...

    David665 Don't get me wrong... not anyone is using Silverblue and we are talking about a native browser on a operating system. I know for sure there are lot of workarounds... mine was resetting the browser to default and not enabling sync anymore. It works...

    But what I don't get is the lack of reactions from Microsoft team. I simply don't understand why there is no reaction ... or maybe I missed something??
