Microsoft's decision to use the Chromium base to develop the latest version of Edge, your web browserIt's been one of the best ideas Redmond has had in recent years. Due to this limitation, the app has achieved a number of functions that people have opted for Chrome to Edge, including the possibility to send tabs between devices or better sync between the different platforms the browser is available to.
However, one of the most interesting features that reaches Edge with this new version is the possibility install and run thousands of Chrome extensions, instead of paying for a limited number of extensions available at the Microsoft web store.
Install Chrome Extensions in Edge
Although there are tools for install Google Chrome extensions On Android, Edge version of mobile devices is currently not one of the Android web browsers that offers this possibility. Therefore, in this guide, we focus on desktop version – Windows or MacOS –, which allows installation of Chrome extensions. To do this, just follow a few simple steps:
-
Open Edge on your computer and open the options menu in the upper right
-
Access the "Extensions" section
-
At the bottom left of the screen, activate the option "Allow extensions from other stores"
-
Go to the Chrome Web Store and go to the page of any extension you want to install
-
Touch the "Install" button
And that's all. When the process is complete, you will have it installed the Chrome extension in the Microsoft app, and this will work as if it were a Google browser. And since Chrome, Edge is based on Chromium, remember that you can also access the Test Options menu or "Flags" to try out the latest news before getting started.
