Microsoft Edge als Linux-Alternative zu Mozilla Firefox

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Microsoft Edge is a solid replacement for Mozilla Firefox on Linux for users who value a Chromium‑based engine, integrated Microsoft services, and built‑in tracking protection. It delivers fast rendering, Chrome extension support, and cross‑device sync via a Microsoft account. Those who rely heavily on Firefox‑specific add‑ons or prefer an open‑source browser may find Edge less suitable, but for everyday browsing, privacy controls, and productivity features Edge meets most needs.

Was anders ist

Ihre Mozilla Firefox-Dateien öffnen

Edge can import bookmarks, passwords, and history from Firefox using the built‑in import wizard. Exporting from Edge to Firefox is also supported via the same wizard. If you use Firefox‑specific profile files (e.g., extensions packaged for Firefox), Edge cannot open them directly.
