FalkonLinux vs Microsoft Edge LegacyWindows

Falkon como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Edge Legacy

Actualizado el 28 de octubre de 2026

Nuestra opinión

Falkon is a decent replacement for Microsoft Edge Legacy if you prioritize speed, low resource use, and basic browsing on Linux. It handles modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript well enough for everyday sites, and its built-in ad blocker and tab management are functional. However, it lacks cross-device sync, a robust extension ecosystem, and cloud integration. It’s best for users who don’t rely on syncing bookmarks or extensions across devices and want a simple, privacy-focused browser without Chromium bloat.

Falkon can import bookmarks from HTML files, which you can export from Microsoft Edge Legacy via its bookmark manager. History and passwords cannot be directly migrated since Falkon doesn’t support importing from Edge Legacy profiles. Cookies and session data aren’t transferable. If you export your Edge Legacy bookmarks as an HTML file, Falkon can read and import that standard format, but other data like saved passwords or open tabs must be handled manually or are unsupported.
