Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge is a web browser developed by Microsoft. It was first released for Windows 10 and Xbox One in 2015, and later for Android and iOS in 2017. It is the default web browser on Windows 10 and is designed to be fast, secure, and easy to use.

To install Microsoft Edge on AnduinOS, you can run:

Install Microsoft Edge
wget https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?linkid=2149051 -O microsoft-edge-stable.deb
sudo dpkg -i microsoft-edge-stable.deb
sudo apt install --fix-broken -y
rm microsoft-edge-stable.deb

Unable to automatically upgrade this application

The above command only installs the launcher. If you run sudo apt upgrade, it won't upgrade it automatically. You will need to manually rerun the above command to upgrade.

This is because the software provider didn't setup a repository for automatic updates. You will need to check the official website for updates.
