Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 6 years old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.It’s both.
This week Microsoft released the first preview build of their Chromium-based Edge browser as part of the Edge Insider Program. Can you see a difference between Edge and Chrome?
Edge (top) and Chrome (bottom)
Visually similar, you can currently tell, based on the iconography, that the new Edge is on top and current Chrome is on the bottom. I can say this is the best Edge browser I’ve every used … because right now it’s basically Chrome. I was able to install all of my extensions from the Chrome Store, import all my bookmarks, settings, etc. and have it work exactly like Chrome. The only difference is I logged in with my Microsoft account instead of my Google account.
It’s worth checking out …
On a semi-related note, today I decided to drop out of the Microsoft Insider Program for Windows 10 while I had the chance. Microsoft is jumping fast ring Insiders to the next 20H1 build and it’s causing a lot of problems (I couldn’t even get it to install). I need a break from all the updates so I’m going to stick with the May Update (1903) for a bit.
