That's still a lot of information that I cannot carry over to a new browser. Let's assume that half of these are either outdated or no longer needed. In the iCloud Keychain, I have nearly 800 username/password combinations. You can do the same through Microsoft Edge, but there's no easy way to import the old from the new. One of the advantages of using Apple Safari is that your web usernames and passwords sync across multiple devices using the iCloud Keychain. Speaking of iCloud, this is one area where using Microsoft Edge over Apple Safari could prove problematic if you're a heavily user. As a comparison, Apple Safari currently offers less than 100 extensions. The compatibility means you again instant access to over 190,000 browser extensions. Microsoft Edge extensions (Image credit: iMore)īecause Microsoft Edge is based on the Chromium source-code, you can grab web extensions from Microsoft's online store and also the Chrome Web Store. Since then, these mostly free plug-ins have come to Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Google Chrome, and other browsers. Microsoft Explorer was the first web browser to support extensions. Like you can do on Apple Safari with iCloud, with a universal Microsoft Account, you can sync your Microsoft Edge favorites, settings, addresses, passwords, and much more, across all of these platforms.Ĭoming soon, you'll also get to sync your history, open tabs, and extensions. The new version of Microsoft Edge is available across multiple platforms, including macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Windows, and Android. For Google Chrome, it will also import payment and password information, addresses, settings, and more. For Apple Safari, it will import favorites, bookmarks, and browsing history. Once you start the browser for the first, you'll be asked to import your previous browser settings. So much so, it's made it oh-so-simple to set up and begin using. The Windows maker really wants you to embrace Microsoft Edge as a Mac user.
See the difference? Of course, you can! Easy set up and import
My favorite is the informational layout, which you can see above. Microsoft Edge (Image credit: iMore)Īt launch, the Microsoft Edge tab page can match one of three canned layouts or you can make it your own by creating a more customized version.
