The new Chromium-based Edge is making headway in the market. This new Windows browser has finally been presented as a good alternative to other browsers such as Google Chrome or Firefox. So it is an important improvement for the company. Although at the moment there are some aspects that have to be polished, to make it a better and more competitive browser. Since it has some limitations, which do not allow you to get the most out of it.
One of them, which was revealed this week, is that this new Edge does not support Google Docs. It is certainly a major limitation, since many users work in the Google suite in the cloud. Luckily, there is a way to make it compliant. Without having to install anything in the browser, you just have to use the different tools that are in it.
In this way, those people who have this new Edge and want to have access to Google Docs, they will not have problems at any time. When trying to enter the signature suite, the browser shows us a message saying that the browser is not supported. But this warning, although it is something that we have to take into account, it is something that we can avoid through a couple of simple tricks.
Since there is a way to make them compatible. Something that is sure to be of interest to many of you. Therefore, below we will tell you all the steps to follow. So that you can use and access Google Docs in this new Microsoft browser with total normality whenever you want. What do we have to do in this case?
Google Docs and Edge support
First we have to open Edge on the computer, the one based on Chromium, of course. When we have the browser open, we must access the Development Tools. To do this, we just have to press the F12 key. By doing this, a new window will open on the right side of the screen, where we have access to these options.
Then, we have to click on the icon with the three vertical dots in the upper right part of the screen. A contextual menu will appear on the screen, with various options. The one we have to select in this case is Development Tools. Then at the top of this right window, We will see that an option called More tools comes out, on which we must click. Next, we have to enter Emulation within these options.
When we are in this section, we have to look for the option called User agent string. In there what we have to do is simply change the Microsoft Edge option. In the drop-down menu we find ourselves there alone we have to select Google Chrome of all the options that we find in it. So when entering Google Docs, they will think that we do it from Google Chrome, so that we will not have this limitation. Once this has been changed, you just have to exit this menu. The changes have already been officially saved in it. If you want you can restart the browser, for greater security.
Thus, we can re-enter Google Docs normally in the browser. You can prove it immediately, that if we introduce Google Docs to enter the suite, we will not have any problem. So this lack of support that was in Edge is already behind, so that we can enjoy the firm's suite at all times. It is not a complex process, and it helps us to solve in this way one of the most annoying problems in the current browser. So if you're using Microsoft's new Chromium-based processor, you can always enjoy Google's suite in the cloud.
