I have downloaded the Debian packages for edge from Microsoft edge download site https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge?exp=e511&form=MA13FJ but for some when I tried installing it I get 

Couldn't find any package by regex 'microsoft-edge-stable_110.0.1587.41-1_amd64.deb
I again tried 
 sudo apt install microsoft-edge-stable
and got 
Unable to locate package microsoft-edge-stable

Is there a way to get around this and install edge. Thank you.

Microsoft Edge web browser includes Bing AI with GPT 4. To install Microsoft Edge web browser in Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

cd ~/Downloads
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge/pool/main/m/microsoft-edge-stable/microsoft-edge-stable_110.0.1587.41-1_amd64.deb?brand=M102
sudo apt install ./microsoft-edge-stable_110.0.1587.41-1_amd64.deb

You can also install Microsoft Edge browser as a flatpak app by running the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install flatpak  
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub com.microsoft.Edge

To run Microsoft Edge:

flatpak run com.microsoft.Edge

I could install the package today just opening the folder with the GUI file browser and clicking on it -so that the synaptic package manager (Linux Mint) opens ist. The installation was successful. (My only interest in installing edge is also to use the integration with chat gpt in bing.)

Paste this code on a terminal:

wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge stable main"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install microsoft-edge-dev

This ensures you import Microsoft GPG key and add the Microsoft Edge repository to your system's sources list.

To install the official Microsoft Edge browser using Flatpak, execute the following commands in your terminal:

sudo apt install flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub com.microsoft.Edge

Choosing Flatpak for the installation instead of directly downloading and installing DEB packages offers advantages. For instance, Flatpak simplifies the update process, making it easier to keep applications like Microsoft Edge up to date with the latest versions.

It's important to note that applications installed via Flatpak are sandboxed, which restricts their access to system files. This restriction can lead to issues, such as the inability to use the drag-and-drop feature or open/view local files. To mitigate this, consider adjusting the default sandbox permissions with these commands:

flatpak override --user --filesystem=home com.microsoft.Edge
flatpak override --user --filesystem=/media --filesystem=/mnt com.microsoft.Edge
