Well, let’s see how to correct this mess, which had made me consider an opinion article to pester, but I think I’ve already expanded, and it’s up to see how to solve the problem. It escapes me why Microsoft Edge drags such a deficiency in Linux, when it is one of the most popular browsers today precisely because of the care that its developers put in all its features. And, beware, because in Linux it has been better received than might be expected. I myself have it installed to test it from time to time and I had missed the repository issue until recently. That Microsoft Edge does not include its own repository is not only an anomaly with the added inconvenience of having to manually download and update each new version that comes out: it is irresponsible behavior on the part of Microsoft, since a browser that does not receive updates is a risk to system security . And it is that Microsoft Edge does not even warn that there is a new version to download.
That is to say: you go to the official Microsoft Edge download page , choose the package that corresponds to the distribution you use (Deb for Debian and Ubuntu, RPM for Fedora and openSUSE, etc.), install it and… unlike any other Of the large web browsers on the market that are available for Linux, it does not add any repository to the system that facilitates the automatic updating of the application. It was at the end of last year when Microsoft Edge released its first stable version for Linux and although it seemed then that everything was already done, taking into account the long road traveled to reach that moment, the truth is that the Redmond web browser is still sinning of a ballast of the most unusual: it is not updated!
