Google Chrome vs Microsoft Edge in our news:
2025. Microsoft Edge Mobile gets full support for desktop extensions
Microsoft has added support for all desktop extensions to its mobile Edge browser. This feature is unique among major browser developers – even Google hasn't yet realised it. Mobile Edge for Android and iOS already supported extensions, but only those created specifically for it (not for the desktop version). For now desktop add-ons currently only available on Android. To make it easier to find the extension you need in Edge for smartphones, you'll need to enable the search bar – it's disabled by default. Type Edge://flags in the address bar and go to that page. There, you'll need to manually enable the Android Extension Search flag, then restart the browser.
2022. Microsoft’s Edge browser gets shared Workspaces
Microsoft has unveiled few user-facing updates to its Edge browser. The most important of these is likely Edge Workspaces, a new feature (currently in preview) that will allow teams to share browser tabs. Microsoft argues that this feature can be useful when bringing on new team members to an existing project. Instead of sharing lots of links and files, the team can simply share a single like to an Edge Workspace (which will then likely consist of lots of links and files, but hey, at least it’s just one link to share). As the project evolves, the tabs are updated in real time. I guess that’s a use case. We’ve seen our share of extensions that do similar things, none of which ever get very popular. Meanwhile, teams share these links and files in other ways (think Confluent, etc.).
