Microsoft Edge, alternative Linux à Microsoft Internet Explorer

Mis à jour le 27 octobre 2026

Notre avis

Microsoft Edge on Linux is a solid replacement for Internet Explorer for users who need modern web standards, security, and extension support. It handles most legacy sites through its Chromium engine, and it imports bookmarks and passwords from IE. It is best suited for developers, power users, and anyone who wants a secure, up‑to‑date browser. If you rely on very old IE‑specific ActiveX controls, Edge will not fully replace that functionality.

IE’s proprietary .htm/.html files open fine in Edge; bookmarks and passwords can be exported from IE to a CSV or XML and imported into Edge via the import wizard. Edge does not support legacy ActiveX controls or COM objects that some old IE pages relied on, so those sites may not work as expected.

Questions fréquentes

Can I use Edge on Linux to view old IE‑only sites?

Most sites that only need basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript will load fine. Sites that relied on ActiveX or COM objects will not work in Edge, as those technologies are not supported on Linux.

Does Edge import my IE bookmarks automatically?

Yes, Edge includes an import wizard that can read the bookmarks file exported from IE and add them to Edge’s bookmark list.

Will Edge sync my passwords with IE?

Edge can sync passwords across devices via a Microsoft account, but it does not automatically transfer passwords stored in IE’s local database. You need to export them from IE and then import into Edge or use a password manager that syncs across browsers.
