Epiphany como alternativa Linux ao Microsoft Edge Legacy
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
Epiphany is a decent replacement for Microsoft Edge Legacy if you value simplicity, GNOME integration, and privacy over extensions and cross-platform sync. It handles modern web standards well enough for basic browsing, with solid HTML5 and JavaScript support via WebKit. However, it lacks extension support, cloud sync, and advanced tab features that Edge Legacy offered. It's best suited for Linux users who stay within the GNOME ecosystem and don’t rely on syncing bookmarks or passwords across devices. Not ideal for power users or those tied to Microsoft services.

O que funciona igual
- Both support modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for standard web compatibility
- Include private browsing modes
- Offer basic tab management with tab switching and closing
- Use rendering engines developed from WebKit (Edge Legacy initially used a fork of WebKit before EdgeHTML diverged)
- Provide password saving via system keyring (GNOME Keyring vs Windows Credential Manager)
O que muda
- Epiphany has no extension/add-on support, while Edge Legacy allowed limited extensions
- No sync functionality in Epiphany for bookmarks, passwords, or tabs across devices
- Epiphany lacks integration with Microsoft cloud services like OneDrive or Outlook
- Edge Legacy had better JavaScript performance due to more aggressive optimization
- Epiphany has reader mode; Edge Legacy did not include this feature
Abrindo seus arquivos do Microsoft Edge Legacy
Epiphany does not directly open Microsoft Edge Legacy session files or import live tabs. However, it can import bookmarks from Edge Legacy through standard HTML bookmark export: export favorites in Edge Legacy as an HTML file, then import that into Epiphany via its bookmark manager. History, passwords, and open tabs cannot be migrated directly. Passwords saved in Edge Legacy must be manually transferred or rely on GNOME Keyring after logging in to sites again.

Does Epiphany sync my data with other devices?
No, Epiphany does not have built-in sync. You can manually sync bookmarks via exported HTML files, but passwords and tabs are not synced.
Is Epiphany based on Chromium like the newer Microsoft Edge?
