Microsoft Edge is now available on Linux. Download for Linux (.deb) | Linux
(.rpm)
Personally, I have no intention of using Microsoft Edge on Linux, so I cannot
answer the original question "I would be happy to hear your viewpoints on this

Edge3P Telemetry in Microsoft Edge captures the searches user does on third
party search providers without identifying the person or the device and
captures only if the user has consented to this collection of data. User can
turn off the collection at any time in the browser settings.
