Vivaldi als Linux-Alternative zu Microsoft Edge Legacy

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Vivaldi is a strong replacement for Microsoft Edge Legacy, especially for users who want more control and built-in tools. It supports modern web standards, fast JavaScript, and Chrome extensions, meeting core browsing needs. The UI is highly customizable, which benefits power users but may overwhelm casual ones. Tab management is superior with Workspaces and tiling. E2EE sync, ad blocking, and Proton VPN add privacy. While it lacks direct integration with Microsoft services like OneDrive or Outlook, it handles IMAP and CalDAV well. Best for Linux users who value customization and productivity features over tight Windows ecosystem ties.

Was gleich funktioniert

  • Both support modern HTML5, CSS3, and fast JavaScript via Chromium
  • Tab management with stacking and grouping features
  • Support for browser extensions, including from the Chrome Web Store
  • Private browsing mode with tracking protection
  • Sync capabilities across devices (Vivaldi uses E2EE, Edge Legacy used Microsoft account)

Was anders ist

  • Vivaldi includes built-in Mail, Calendar, Notes, and RSS—features absent in Edge Legacy
  • Vivaldi offers deeper UI customization, keyboard shortcuts, and mouse gestures
  • No native integration with Microsoft 365, OneDrive, or Outlook in Vivaldi
  • Edge Legacy had tighter Windows OS integration (e.g., Cortana, PDF annotation)
  • Vivaldi uses its own sync system; no direct migration path from Edge Legacy sync data

Ihre Microsoft Edge Legacy-Dateien öffnen

There is no direct way to import Edge Legacy session files, bookmarks, or settings into Vivaldi using native file formats. However, you can export bookmarks from Edge Legacy as an HTML file and import it into Vivaldi via the browser's bookmark manager. History, passwords, and open tabs cannot be directly transferred. Extensions and settings must be reinstalled manually. On Linux, such migration typically requires intermediate steps through Chromium-based browsers or export tools.
