Well, now I feel stupid. I finally figured out why, since upgrading to Debian 13/trixie, there are some websites I couldn't connect to, but only over IPv6, they work fine on their IPv4 address.

Fucking MTU.

I'd for a long time had an IPv4 iptables rule to force the MSS (maximum segment size) on outbound packets to `1400`. But I never put in an equivalent for IPv6.

I use 'jumbo packets' on the LAN between desktop and server, which means an MTU of 4088 (for that pair of NICs). So anything forwarded out was using an MSS of 4088 as well.

The issue only showed up for *some* sites, and only for IPv6, and only on 13/trixie because:

1. 13/trixie uses openssl 3.x, not the older version, which has slightly different cipher suites etc in the default config.
2. IPv6 addressing makes packets that little bit bigger.
3. I've only ever observed the issue with MS Azure/Edge hosts.

What was happening was that the first part of the "Server Hello" after a "Change Cipher Spec, Client Hello" from my end was being lost, as the TCP level packet was too large and fragmented... but the first fragment was too large for my PPP link.

So, added an ip6tables rule to do the set-mss thing as well, and now it works.

Any recommendations on a specific #Linux #WebBrowser? I'm a long time #Firefox user, but it's having constant memory leaks that are causing me major slowdowns in my work.

I mainly just want a good vertical tab browser. I normally would use #MSEdge as my fallback, but it's having a weird flickering bug that keeps unfocusing my cursor when inspecting.

I'm currently stranded on #Chrome Unstable.

WARNING: Updating Microsoft Edge browser on Linux overwrites Microsoft repository for apt/rpm/dnf to point to Google Chrome repo, a non-functional config change that will also prevent future updates to automatically fix the issue!

I have seen this issue starting Friday 13-Feb-2026 on several of my own Linux machines with Microsoft Edge installed, when upgrading from v144.x to v145.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftEdge/comments/1r4rph8/fedora_linux_microsoftedgerepo_file_getting/

Worse, it looks like this is a known issue reported more than a month ago in the Microsoft forums, and instead of fixing the issue this issue has been promoted (intact) from Edge Deb channel to Stable as of last week.

In case anyone is reading and trying to figure out how to remove Microsoft Edge from a fully updated Windows 11 install:

The guide listed below still works, but only once you downgrade Edge.

You can downgrade using winget. I used UniGetUI, which uses winget on the backend as well as other sources.

The version I tried is 124.0.2478.97. Going too far back gives an error.

After that you need to execute this tool from an elevated command line prompt:

./vivetool /enable /id:44353396

(The program is available here):
https://github.com/thebookisclosed/ViVe/releases

Reboot.

After that just add your country to the list of countries in the European Economic Area and mark them as eligible for uninstall. (See guide below, or the summary)

The file you want to edit is Windows\System32\IntegratedServicesRegionPolicySet.json.

- You need to give yourself permission to edit the file:
File properties > Security > Advanced > Change (link next to the owner at the top)

- Here, type Administrators and hit the button on the right of the text field, click Accept.

- Select Administrators from the list and click edit to give yourself write access

- Click accept on all windows to apply changes.

Here's the edited code block:

(...)
  "policies": [
    {
      "$comment": "Edge is uninstallable.",
      "guid": "{1bca278a-5d11-4acf-ad2f-f9ab6d7f93a6}",
      "defaultState": "enabled",
      "conditions": {
        "region": {
          "enabled": ["AT", "BE", "BG", "CH", "CL", "CY", "CZ", "DE", "DK", "EE", "ES", "FI", "FR", "GF", "GP", "GR", "HR", "HU", "IE", "IS", "IT", "LI", "LT", "LU", "LV", "MT", "MQ", "NL", "NO", "PL", "PT", "RE", "RO", "SE", "SI", "SK", "YT"]
        }
      }
    },
(...)

@jalefkowit I just found out about this a few days ago that it's been available for months!

I've been waiting for this since #Opera introduced Tabs to the Browser world.

Opera then introduced Tabs to any edge of the window. Opera split into #Vivaldi, and now Vivaldi supports awesome tab groups and stacks.

#MSEdge also picked up Vertical tabs for quite a few years now too.

#FIrefox has resolutely resisted having first-party Vertical Tabs all this time. Amazingly ridiculous.

#Microsoft is quite something: I've already switched the search engine in the #Edge browser to google. And I deactivated their Bing-"home" tab that shows up when opening.

... And yet, with the latest update every empty tab has a search bar in there with - you guessed it: Bing!
And no way to change it or turn it off.

They are bizarrely brazen in their ways of force-feeding users their crap.

Microsoft тестирует новый внутриигровой браузер

Корпорация запустила бета-тестирование нового наложения браузера Game Assist для Windows 11, интегрированного в Microsoft Game Bar.

Game Assist автоматически находит и отображает советы и гайды по игре в которую вы играете, используя Edge.

В настоящее время приложение доступно только на английском языке и требует установки Microsoft Edge Beta 132 как браузера по умолчанию.
