Google chrome vs safari for mac7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() However, Edge has a handy feature that lets you view search results in a right-hand sidebar – and the search engine for that can’t be changed from Bing. You can do that in Edge, though the starting default is Microsoft’s Bing. While I was interested in replacing Chrome, I wanted to keep Google as the default search engine. Microsoft also leans toward its own services in Edge. Its sync works with versions of Edge on Windows, Android and iOS. ![]() That’s kind of a shame, because one other benefit is that Edge is cross-platform. I’m not sure where Edge got them, but fortunately I could turn off sync, re-import my Chrome data and I was good to go. ![]() I imported my Chrome bookmarks, passwords, extensions, personal info and more, but when I turned on sync using my Microsoft account, my bookmarks were replaced by a set of old bookmarks that I had not used in years. I didn’t care much for the way Microsoft has implemented sync. Not everything is lollipops and roses, though. It feels more Mac-like to me than Chrome. Edge looks like a Mac browser, not like a Windows browser with a Big Sur facelift. Microsoft also has designed the Mac version to fit in with the macOS design language. (Microsoft has its own store for native Edge extensions as well.) I’ve not found any among the 24 installed on Chrome that don’t work on Edge. This time around, they’re much more stable. I tested Edge for Mac when it was first available and it was hit-or-miss whether Chrome extensions would work reliably. You can also set Edge to use Strict levels when you use InPrivate browsing, which is similar to Chrome’s Incognito mode.Įdge’s Chromium roots means it can use most of the extensions available for Chrome. ![]()
