Chromium als Linux-Alternative zu Microsoft Edge Legacy
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Chromium is a solid replacement for Microsoft Edge Legacy, especially for users who value performance, modern web standards, and extension support. It handles HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript well, with strong security and frequent updates. Since it shares the same core as the current Chromium-based Edge, most websites and workflows behave identically. It’s ideal for Linux users wanting a no-frills, open-source browser without telemetry. However, it lacks built-in sync with Microsoft accounts and Edge-specific services like Collections or vertical tabs.

Ihre Microsoft Edge Legacy-Dateien öffnen
Chromium can open bookmarks and browsing history exported from Microsoft Edge Legacy as HTML or JSON files. Passwords and settings aren't directly transferable, but most data can be imported via standard browser export tools. If Edge Legacy was used to save passwords or bookmarks in Microsoft formats, they must first be exported to a neutral format like HTML (for bookmarks) before importing into Chromium. Session recovery or custom Edge profiles won't carry over.

- Install Chromium via your distro’s package manager or Flathub
- Import the bookmarks HTML file into Chromium under Bookmarks Manager
- Reinstall needed extensions from the Chrome Web Store
