Epiphany als Linux-Alternative zu Microsoft Edge (Legacy Collections, IE mode)
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Epiphany is not a good replacement for Microsoft Edge with Legacy Collections and IE mode, especially for enterprise or internal site access. It lacks IE compatibility, enterprise management tools, and collection syncing. It’s suited only for basic browsing in GNOME environments where legacy site support isn’t needed. Users relying on IE mode for old corporate sites will find Epiphany non-functional. However, for general web use with a clean, lightweight interface and GNOME integration, it’s acceptable if legacy features aren’t required.

Ihre Microsoft Edge (Legacy Collections, IE mode)-Dateien öffnen
Epiphany does not support importing Microsoft Edge Legacy Collections or IE mode settings directly. Bookmark import may be possible via HTML export from Edge and import into Epiphany, but Collections, grouped tabs, and IE-specific configurations are lost. Passwords stored in Edge do not transfer automatically. GNOME Keyring handles passwords locally, but no migration tool exists. File compatibility is limited to standard bookmarks; proprietary Edge data cannot be opened.

- Manually re-create any saved collections as folders or notes
- Set up GNOME Keyring for password storage if not already active
- Use a separate browser like Firefox ESR or Wine-based IE if IE mode sites are required
