    Hey, AntiMatter Good Guy, you can run ChromEdge in Linux.

    https://askubuntu.com/questions/840987/microsoft-edge-on-linux

    Take the Windows 7 download version and run it under WINE.
    As the graphics might work better in the Windows 7 version.

    Let's hope it's using something other than crypt32.dll and Schannel.

    I also hate Chrome, and I greatly prefer FireFox over all the other
    choices of browsers.

    When I look at the new Edge, to me it looks much like the old Edge,
    so I
    thought I would ask several questions about it that are important to
    me,
    and I hope that someone here can provide some information about it. In >>>> no particular order:

    2. Is it possible to have a new page, whether invoked from a link, from >>>> a search, or any other way, automatically open in a new tab rather than >>>> the existing one, keeping all already open tabs open?

    3. Is it possible to have favorites in a sidebar, rather than a
    toolbar?
    With today's widescreen monitors, I think that's greatly preferable.

    4. Is it possible to have a separate search bar, and not have to use
    the
    bar in which URLs are entered?

    5. Is it possible to change the order of toolbars?

    6. Is it possible to have mouse gestures? I especially want gestures
    for
    close tab, go to the previous page, go to the top of the page, and
    go to
    the bottom of the page.

    7.           *           Change Furnace Filters (Every Two Months)
                       multiple URLs for a home page?

    8. Is it possible to have a toolbar button for Enpass, my preferred

    10. Any extensions that are particularly recommended?

    I want a MENU BAR too or its a no go.



    I suspect that all my "Is it possible to have..." questions have the
    answer "no," and Edge will remain a "no go" for me. But I ask just in
    case I missed something and I'm wrong.

    Have you considered asking your question(s) on the Microsoft Forums, Ken?

    You need your head to be examined if you only know one way to fly. We,
    the young people of 21st century, have another way to fly. Our way to
    fly is as shown in this picture:

    Frankly all old people should consider their existence on this planet.
