Microsoft has taken 5 years to realize that if it wanted to reign in the browser market, it had no choice but to switch to Chromium. Well, it really has been 4 years, since the first news about Microsoft's intentions to launch a new browser They are from the beginning of 2019.
One year later, Edge Chromium is now available for download. To the use the same engine as Chrome, is compatible with each and every one of the extensions that today we have at our disposal in Chrome. In Windows News we have an article where we show you how install Chrome extensions on Microsoft Edge.
But, as expected, the number of extensions available for Microsoft Edge in its Chromium version has been increasing a lot and today, we have at our disposal a large number, a large number that we can access directly from this link.
Through this link, we can search for the extensions that best suit our needs and / or tastes and install them directly on our device. When Microsoft Edge hit the Windows 10 market, the number of extensions was very small and it continued to be so until since Redmond they have not taken the step of moving to Chromium.
My recommendation, as editor of several technology blogs, is that if you have to install an extension, it is preferable to do it directly from the list than Microsoft makes it available to us, and not to the Web Chrome Store.
It has been shown on many occasions that the Web Chrome Store is full of applications that violate not only our privacy, but in addition, they also try to access our passwords so before installing any extension in Chrome, you have to think about it more than once.
This does not happen with the ones we have available for Edge directly from Microsoft, since each and every one of them, have been analyzed to the last detail to assure the user that they are 100% safe.
