I was able to find and install almost all of the extensions that I already had installed with Google Chrome. Microsoft has an Edge add-on store which is very similar to the Google Chrome web store. I wanted to mirror my Google Chrome setup so it felt the same. Google uses this codebase to create the Chrome browser hence the name.Īfter I had downloaded and installed Microsoft Edge I started to install extensions. Both browsers are built using Chromium which is an open-source codebase which can be used for building web browsers. In my first week I used Microsoft Edge and in my second week I used The Brave Browser.

I never really thought about trying it until now. And the Brave Browser which has been around since 2016. However I was curious how it would compare up against the likes Microsoft Edge which recently became available on macOS in April. When Google Chrome was released that became my first choice browser and Safari was my second choice up until now. These days the competition has really heated up and there are now many web browsers to choose from. It was very popular and had very few competitors back then other than Internet Explorer. For a few years Firefox was my web browser of choice.
