From the Microsoft Edge team, we want to thank and celebrate customers and users who continue to trust and partner with us to make Microsoft Edge the best browser for your environment. Customers like (GSK), a global pharmaceutical firm with over 130,000 employees, set Microsoft Edge as their default browser earlier this year to improve security and simplify their IT environment. With Microsoft Edge’s dual engine advantage, GlaxoSmithKline continues to run critical legacy apps and sites across 92 countries, right alongside modern ones. “One browser that does it all”, is how Michael Freedberg, Director of Modern Workspace Engineering at GlaxoSmithKline, describes Microsoft Edge. Similarly, we applaud (BA), the German federal employment agency, which has 95,000 employees and modernized its browser while delivering essential services during the pandemic. “We had so many applications that still depend on Internet Explorer,” Ronny Intrau, Browser Product Manager at BA, says. He describes Microsoft Edge as “one browser that handles two worlds for us.” The result is that everyone at BA, from IT to developers to employees, is better able to serve their citizen customers. We are humbled that as they modernize their legacy applications and browsers. This year at Ignite, Microsoft Edge continues its commitment to be the browser for business and to serve customers’ total needs, from the needs of IT Pros to developers to end-users. That means rounding out our platforms with Microsoft Edge on Linux. That means a new cloud site list management experience that simplifies setting up IE mode. And that means new innovations to help users get the most out of Microsoft 365 while using Microsoft Edge.
A common request is your need for Microsoft Edge to span the breadth of operating systems in your environment. Last October, we made Microsoft Edge available on Linux in preview channels (Dev and Beta channels) and today, the browser is generally available for Linux via the stable channel. This milestone officially rounds out the full complement of major platforms served by Microsoft Edge through stable channel: Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and now Linux. To use Microsoft Edge on Linux, users or retrieve it using the command line from a Linux package manager. To celebrate this moment with Linux fans, the Microsoft Edge Surf game (edge://surf) has a visitor from the Linux world in the Edge 97 release’s Dev channel. Surf away!
