Anyone can tell me why? thanks!!

[#2]

i switched to Flathub. A Microsoft product should always run sandboxed 😉

[#3]

Well... I will not switch my preferred distro to whatever Microsoft wants.
We have thousands of workstations on Linux and Windows and Edge was a good idea to sync whatever office 365 means. But if Microsoft doesn't solve this quickly we can easily get rid of Edge everywhere. Simple as that.

[#4]

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.

[#5]

@DarkMac Switching to the unofficial flathub version was unfortunately the only way I got it working on Fedora. 

[#6]

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. 😉

[#7]

@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??

@DarkMac 
> Don't get me wrong... not anyone is using Silverblue
there is nothing left to say... Good luck.

[#9]

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

[#10]

@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."

[#11]

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.)
