Zen, alternative Linux à Microsoft Edge

Mis à jour le 25 octobre 2026

Notre avis

Zen can replace Microsoft Edge for users who want a lightweight, privacy‑focused browser on Linux. It offers Chromium‑based rendering, tab groups, session restore, and extension support, so daily browsing, streaming, and web development tasks will work. Edge‑centric features like the built‑in password manager and cross‑device sync are missing, so users who rely on those will need alternatives. Zen is best for privacy‑conscious Linux users who prefer a clean interface and multitasking tools.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Microsoft Edge

Zen can open standard HTML, PDF, and image files that Edge handles. It does not natively import Edge bookmarks or browsing history; users must export bookmarks from Edge (e.g., as HTML) and import them into Zen via the bookmarks manager. Edge’s proprietary data formats (e.g., .edge files) are not supported.

Passer de Microsoft Edge à Zen, étape par étape

Export bookmarks from Edge as an HTML file via Settings > Export bookmarks
Open Zen, go to Bookmarks > Import bookmarks, and select the exported HTML
Copy any saved passwords to a password manager that Zen can use (e.g., KeePassXC)
Install the same Chrome extensions in Zen from the Chrome Web Store

Questions fréquentes

Does Zen support Microsoft Edge extensions?

Yes, because Zen uses the Chromium engine, it can run most Chrome extensions from the Chrome Web Store.

Will Zen sync my browsing data across devices?

No, Zen does not have a built‑in sync feature. You’ll need a third‑party sync solution such as a cloud‑based bookmark manager or a password manager.

Is Zen privacy‑focused?

Yes, Zen collects minimal telemetry and focuses on privacy, but it still relies on Chromium, so some data may be sent to Google unless you block it with extensions or flags.
