Chromium como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Edge
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Chromium is a solid replacement for Microsoft Edge on Linux. It shares the same rendering engine, so web pages load the same. It supports tab management, session restore, DevTools, extensions from the Chrome Web Store, and hardware‑accelerated rendering. The main gaps are the lack of a built‑in Microsoft‑specific password manager, native Windows‑style sync across Microsoft accounts, and some Edge‑only features like integration with Windows Defender and Microsoft services. It is ideal for users who want a fast, standards‑compliant browser without the Windows ecosystem lock‑in.

Lo que cambia
- Chromium lacks Microsoft’s built‑in password manager and Edge’s integration with Windows credentials
- Chromium does not sync automatically with Microsoft accounts; sync requires Google or manual setup
- Edge includes Windows Defender SmartScreen and other Microsoft security features not present in Chromium
- Edge has a more polished UI tailored to Windows; Chromium’s UI is more generic
- Edge supports some Microsoft‑specific APIs (e.g., Office integration) that Chromium does not
Abrir tus archivos de Microsoft Edge
Opening Edge‑specific files such as .edg or Edge‑profile data is not supported by Chromium. Exporting bookmarks, passwords, and history from Edge can be done via the Edge export feature (HTML, CSV) and then imported into Chromium using the browser’s import tool. For other Edge data, manual migration or third‑party tools may be required.
Pasar de Microsoft Edge a Chromium, paso a paso
- 1. Export bookmarks, passwords, and history from Edge (Settings → Import/Export).
- 2. Install Chromium from your distro’s package manager or Flathub.
- 3. Open Chromium and use the Import tool (Menu → Bookmarks → Import Bookmarks and Settings).
- 4. If you use Microsoft account sync, set up a Google account in Chromium for sync or use a third‑party sync tool.
- 5. Reinstall any desired extensions from the Chrome Web Store.
- 6. Verify that tabs, history, and saved passwords appear correctly.
