What's up with listed maintainer "aakashhemadri"? There has now been six (6) stable MS-Edge releases since the last AUR update... Is this package maybe orphaned?
Could you please not install the file /etc/cron.daily/microsoft-edge ? It is solely for Debian based distributions, and besides failing on arch it only sends one email per day.
Thanks
I was trying to install this but was getting stucked by the dependency libxml2-legacy. It was not installing and giving error libxml2.so.2 exists in system from pkg libxml2.
I was able to install by editing PKGBUILD to use libxml2 in place of libxml2-legacy and the browser was working fine no crash or anything.
so, if possible try changing the pkg in pkgbuild.
I've temporarily switched over to the beta version, because I'm getting an error with the stable version.

After the update, the copilot plug-in on the right side is gone.
Thanks everyone for testing out libxml2-legacy and bittin for their suggestions and changes in the beta package to use debian packages instead of the rpms. I've pushed an update to include them in the stable package too!
@aakashhemadri To solve sync issues, is it possible to include libxml2-legacy as dependency?
@mag Better solution: Install libxml2-legacy from Arch repos.
@mag Yep, that works! thanks a bunch!

Please wait 30 minutes after a new update is released by Microsoft. The out-of-date flag sends an email notification to all those subscribed. If after a day the package stays out-of-date then please go ahead and flag the package as out-of-date to notify us.
