ChrEdge is not recommended for production use in Brightspace and is not an officially supported browser.

Microsoft Edge is the best browser for shopping. Microsoft Edge is the only browser with built-in tools to help you save time and money when shopping online. (ChrEdge) I have edited my PC's registry which has allowed me to keep the original, EdgeHTML-based version and the new ChrEdge version. I find myself opting to use the original, legacy version. The UI is so much more appealing, the tab preview feature is there, when you open upon menu's the lines highlight as you move your cursor.
The Redmond giant says that the release supports Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE distributions. The browser will be updated weekly, just like the Dev channel builds on other platforms. The company has also posted instructions for the process of installing the packages on various distributions using their standard package management tools, for those interested. However, the easier way is to download and install the .deb or .rpm packages from the Insider website here.
As for features, the company is “aiming to provide a representative experience for developers who want to build and test their sites and apps on Linux”. The preview release for Linux currently does not feature many user-facing features such as support for signing into Microsoft accounts – which means that there will be no sync capabilities. However, the company does promise to release these features with a future update.
Considering that the release is still in early development, the firm cautions that there will be many “bugs and unexpected behaviors“ and urges developers to send feedback through the browser. Lastly, the company is also accepting submissions for the Microsoft Edge Bounty Program on Linux for security researchers.
