Yep I know about that.

For the sync part, mine works on Windows and Mac, just doesn't work on Linux. I think it's just a matter of time before this feature comes out.

btw self-maintenance is actually not bad for MS Edge compared to other packages.

Microsoft Edge version 100 and above now supports full account syncing for almost any account subscription (for example, my A1 plus is now happily syncing my history and bookmarks). If you were having trouble with that before, now it's a good time to give it a go.

    Microsoft has done a lot with Edge in recent months, particularly in terms of reducing load -- sleeping tabs, Efficiency Mode and so on -- and I'm glad to see that, as well. I've been running some load comparison tests (Edge versus Firefox) to see if I can nudge Linux into at least 80% of the battery efficiency of Windows, and I've been impressed with how few resources Edge uses, particularly in efficiency mode.

    As an aside, Stable is at Version 101.0.1210.32 (Official build) (64-bit) now on both Linux and Windows. I noticed that you are still at 100.0.1185.44. I think that is several cycles out of date, so you might consider updating.

        Note that this is a recipe for building a package yourself, so has the advanced user in mind, and not simply a link to a ready-made eopkg. This is fine, at least in my interpretation of the rules ^^

            It is a fine distinction, but I see the logic.
