Microsoft Edge for Linux is just like Edge for Windows and macOS, meaning you won't be missing out on any features (apart from IE mode, which requires Windows.) You'll be able to sync all your bookmarks, passwords, form data, and extensions across platforms with Edge.
The stable release begins with Edge 95, which includes improvements to the Edge download experience, the ability to pick up where you left off in PDF documents, and a new efficiency mode for when your laptop enters battery saver.
You can grab the stable version of Microsoft Edge by grabbing it drectly from Microsoft, or you can use a terminal command to install:
sudo apt install microsoft-edge-stable
After a testing period through the Dev and Beta Channels, Microsoft Edge for Linux now has a stable build available.
