Microsoft Edge, anyone? - eviltoast

I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious… does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?

EDIT: Well, you all have provided some interesting perspectives I hadn’t ever considered. Including one which means I’ll have to install Edge, so… thanks, I guess. 😂

    Strange. The other day I had a call on Teams with a customer and had no problems using Firefox 117.0 on NixOS, but I recall that some months ago some features (like microphone and screensharing) where unavailable.

    Maybe Microsoft hasn’t rolled out the update in your region/org?

      My org is slow to get updates, that might be it

      edit: tried call from M$ Teams today and got the popup saying :

      Try a different browser This feature isn’t available yet for your browser. Try the web app with Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, or switch to the desktop app.

      And then a download link

      I’m on FF117 on Fedora (F38)

      Second edit:

      changing User-Agents worked to remove the popup, but crashed FF instead
