Google Chrome como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Edge Legacy
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Google Chrome is a solid replacement for Microsoft Edge Legacy, especially for users who value speed, extension support, and cross-device sync. Since both browsers are now Chromium-based, site compatibility and performance are nearly identical. Chrome excels in Linux environments with stable builds and full access to the Chrome Web Store. It’s ideal for users who rely on Google services or want a consistent experience across Windows, Android, and Linux. Privacy-focused users may prefer open-source alternatives, but for direct functionality, Chrome delivers.

Lo que funciona igual
- Both use the Chromium engine, ensuring near-identical rendering of modern web pages
- Support for HTML5, CSS3, and high-performance JavaScript execution
- Tab management with multi-tab browsing, pinning, and grouping
- Extension ecosystems via Chrome Web Store and former Edge Add-ons (now also Chromium-based)
- Sync capabilities for bookmarks, history, passwords, and settings across devices
Lo que cambia
- Google Chrome is proprietary; Microsoft Edge Legacy was partially open but tied to Windows
- Edge Legacy had deeper Windows 10 integration, such as Cortana and Reading List, missing in Chrome
- Chrome lacks built-in integration with Microsoft cloud services like OneDrive or Outlook
- Dark mode in Chrome is system-dependent or extension-based, while Edge Legacy had native toggle
- No native support for legacy Microsoft-only formats like MHT in Chrome
Abrir tus archivos de Microsoft Edge Legacy
Google Chrome cannot open Microsoft Edge Legacy's saved MHT (web archive) files by default. However, you can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store to view or convert MHT files. Bookmarks and browsing history can be exported from Edge Legacy as HTML and imported into Chrome via the standard bookmark manager. Passwords and settings don’t transfer directly but can be synced manually or through Google account setup.
