Microsoft Edge (Immersive reader- Read Aloud) not there
Hi,
this is part of this post published by Edge developers:
"We’re sure you’re curious about what is available with this version of Edge! While we are working to ensure that every feature in our Windows and Mac Dev channels is available in our Linux version, there are a few features that will not be available at launch. Sync (and its related services), read aloud, and differential updates will not be available immediately with Edge on Linux. We are working hard to bring these to users as quickly as possible, while also ensuring it’s done right. Once we know these changes are implemented, you will see them mentioned in Josh’s summary posts. Additionally, if any of this change before we launch, we will work to ensure y’all are notified."
also, you can report any issues or share feedback or feature requests via the “Send Feedback” tool, either via the “…” (“Settings and More”) menu in Microsoft Edge, or by pressing Alt+Shift+I.
by the way, here is the Edge insider community for future posts 🙂

Two years later, this still isn't working any updates on this HotCakeX? The reason I used edge over other browsers is because of the read-aloud feature.
isTofu_ Sadly Microsoft decided that accessibility features for Linux are not that important.
- No, it was working and then they removed it. They didn't just decide to ignore people who have reading difficulties, they spat in their face by crippling a feature that was working perfectly.
Microsoft just hates disabled people. It's evident throughout their own OS, and now they're ruining other OSes out of spite.I'm confused as to why it was removed too. It was working at one time under Ubuntu for me and then was removed a bit over a year ago. Someone in another post said it was removed after upgrading from v98 to v99.
It works on Android just fine. That would suggest to me there is no technical reason it will not work.
