OK, did OMGUbuntu intentionally left out Brave as a Chromium based browser on Linux? Brave is FLOSS, the others (except Chromium, which is the base for these browsers) are proprietary.
"And since almost every other Chromium-based web browser is available on Linux (including Chromium, Google Chrome, Vivaldi and Opera) it’s a fairly logical assumption to think Edge will join their ranks."

And no we don't need a Microsoft browser on Linux. Especially not a proprietary one. If Microsft loves Linux, they would release this browser as Free Software, and not close source junk.
"Would Edge on Linux be a positive move?
I think so; choice is good for users. Not everyone is a dyed-in-the-wool FOSS fan fan sworn off anything with a vague whiff of proprietary licensing."
OMGUbuntu is shilling for proprietary junk? Why is that? Are they paid by Microsoft?
Oh yeah let our internet habits flow through Microsoft...
I seriously don't understand this attitude, especially one of the biggest Linux user site!
