DEB and RPM packages are available on the Microsoft Edge Insider website. These packages are updated every week.

Hence, to install Microsoft Edge on openSUSE, simply download the .rpm file and use zypper for the installation.

sudo zypper in ~/Downloads/microsoft-edge-dev-88.0.680.1-1.x86_64.rpm

That's it! You should now be able to run Edge on openSUSE. In fact, the above screenshots are from the Edge build version 88.0.680.1 running on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
