Microsoft Edge not opening

So first of all, I know Edge isn't exactly liked here by all due to Microsoft and not being open source like Firefox, but I am trying to do comparisons and benchmarks etc. The browser used to open fine but now it will show a blurred screen and then crash every time. I tried rebooting, different linux kernels and reinstalling the browser. Below are my system specs followed by the message that appears when executing the browser through my terminal. And there is also an attached screenshot showing the blurred screen. Thanks for any advice.

Can you run ldd on it and make sure you aren't missing any libs?

You are not the first person to report this but it works fine for many of us.

Sorry could you tell me what you mean by ldd? First I've heard of that

I mean literally. Type:

ldd /opt/microsoft/msedge-beta/msedge

EDIT: Fixed now. Apparently it is a maze of shell scripts.

That looks fine to me.

If it does then I have no clue why edge will not work now. It's just strange

You are running a pretty unique kernel. Try the linux kernel and see if that makes a difference.

I have already tried Linux-Zen which is a well-known and used kernel but I'll give the normal kernel a go too thanks

Well, same problem. Not sure if it's kernel related then

Totally out of the blue thought, try disabling your compositor and logoff before opening the browser. Probably will not make any difference, but it is Edge (so no great loss).

Good point, will try thanks. And I know it's edge but it does run really fast. Anyway though, what browser would you recommend? If I can't fix this then I'll change browser and give up with my testing for edge

Firefox all the way.

I believe @tbg meant:

Getting serious, I have no issues with Edge Browser (FWIW, I deplore M$® and M$ Doors® but like @Grimy1928 mentioned, Edge is fastAF) but lately Vivaldi has been crashing a few seconds after launch every time without fail. I initially had the snapshot package so thought maybe if I deleted that one in favor of the stable release it would remedy the situation but no dice. I’ve gone back and forth a couple of times now with no change in result. I love Vivaldi and while I was still very much like to solve the issue it was a little bit of a blessing in disguise as it lead to using FireDragon. At first, I just thought it would be as a stopgap but after a few days I made it my default browser. There are still some use cases that I find I need a chromium based browser for but fortunately I like this browser so much that I’m not complaining and am strangely grateful.

FireDragon being a security enhanced version of Firefox I figured would be another obvious choice without explicitly saying so.

Just pulling yer chain :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I knew where your head was

Edit to add:

Not to highjack your thread but I wanted to thank you and @dalto for indirectly solving my Vivaldi woes.

I hadn't run ldd on it, and ultimately nothing looked out of place there but because ldd initially returned "not a dynamic executable," subsequent digging eventually lead me to find that vivaldi.stable.desktop/the application menu were pointing at /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable when in fact it should have been /opt/vivaldi/vivaldi-bin. All is well with Vivaldi and I discovered my new favorite Firefox fork / alternative to Chromium-based browsers ever in FireDragon, so all in all I'm gonna mark it down in the 'W' column
