Edge Chromium is Ready for Prime Time (Says Microsoft)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Microsoft unabashed copy of Google Chrome, formerly known as Edge Dev and Edge Chromium is out of beta testing and ready for prime time – according to Microsoft.<\/span><\/p>\n I’ve been using Edge Dev (Edge Chromium) since the first beta came out and from my personal experience, it beats the old Edge, with its strained interface and convoluted settings, hands down. It’s so much like Chrome, if you like Chrome you’ll like the “New Edge”.<\/span><\/p>\n According to the Microsoft Blog<\/a>, the new Edge will replace the original Edge. You can get it now or you can wait for it to be delivered to you via Windows Update.<\/span><\/p>\n Chrome is my browser of choice – if you like Chrome, you’ll almost certainly like the new Edge. If you don’t like Google, and love Microsoft, here’s your chance to get a close relative of Chrome without getting near Google.<\/span><\/p>\n The new Edge is so much like Chrome that you can use Chrome extensions with it.<\/span><\/p>\n To enable Chrome extension support on the Chromium Edge browser, do this:<\/span><\/p>\n 1.

You can download it now or wait until it’s installed via Windows Updates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I think this it is a good decision by Microsoft to get rid of the old Edge and replace it with the Chromium-based Edge that is very similar to Google Chrome. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em!<\/span><\/p>\n You can download the new Edge from here<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Or keep on reading the following excerpt from the Microsoft Blog to learn more about the new Edge.<\/span><\/p>\n Upgrading to the new Microsoft Edge<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The new Microsoft Edge is now out of preview and available for download, with today\u2019s release of our first Stable channel build (Microsoft Edge 79 stable).
