Microsoft will release a version of Edge for Linux probably by the end of the year. Chrome already supports all these operating systems, making the update simpler for Microsoft. Google wants you to use Chrome and its extensions, while Microsoft will always suggest the new Edge.
Edge does run on Chromium, making it a lightweight Chrome clone. However, since the browser’s name is already tainted with its shared history with Internet Explorer, people still prefer Chrome. Microsoft’s latest pop-up tries to assure users that Edge is still as safe, secure, and fast as Chrome.
Another frequently asked inquiry is “Does Microsoft Edge run on the same technology as Google Chrome?”.
Now, when you try to download Chrome from Edge, the browser launches a pop-up stating, “Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft,” as spotted by Windows Latest. It’s certainly a true claim. Edge does run on Chromium, making it a lightweight Chrome clone.
One article argued that so as long as you’re running an Intel or AMD CPU, you should be OK to try this out. What makes the magic happen is the Crostini Linux container on Chrome OS, which will allow you to install the Linux version of Microsoft Edge on your Chromebook. If you don’t already have that enabled, you’ll need to get it done before going any further.
What do Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome have in common?
Since both browsers are built on Chromium, they share a lot of similarities with each other. The keyboard shortcuts, layout, and the menus are almost the same. When coming from Chrome, Microsoft Edge will ask if you’d like to import all your bookmarks from Chrome.
Overall, Microsoft Edge wins in Security, mainly due to its flexibility when it comes to trackers. However, Google Chrome does have more site permissions that users can manage. In real-world scenarios, both browsers are secure and have not shown any indication or cause for concern. So which browser is better?
Well, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge—competing browsers built from the same Chromium platform—are now caught in a browser marketing war that spins security for competitive advantage. We already have https website encryption, Do. H URL encryption and cross-platform user tracking.
How do I know if I should use edge or chrome?
Check how fast a website loads in real-world conditions. While both are significantly fast browsers, Edge might just have a slight advantage in this regard. Based on a test in which six pages were loaded on each browser, Edge used 665MB of RAM while Chrome used 1.4 GB. This would make a significant difference for systems running on limited memory.
Is it possible to download Microsoft Edge through Internet Explorer?
Earlier, I was able to download Microsoft Edge through Internet Explorer. Additionally, when accessing Internet Explorer to download Chrome the same thing happened as Microsoft Edge where even when I clicked ‘download’, no response. If anyone knows what the issue is, it would be great if you could share your thoughts! This thread is locked.
