Ditch Google Chrome in favor of the new version of Microsoft Edge and import all your browsing data in a few clicks.
Microsoft began a few days ago the deployment of the new version of its Edge web browser. Based on the open source Chromium project, the new Microsoft Edge is faster, and has little to do with what it used to be.
It now embeds many features of Google Chrome and offers new ones that make it much more attractive than usual. Microsoft is also doing everything to encourage you to use the new version of its browser. At the first start, Edge offers the user to import their data from Google Chrome to be immediately functional.
You can almost instantly find your passwords, bookmarks, addresses and other browsing parameters.

A blue banner indicating that you can now install extensions should be displayed at the top of the window.
Find the extension you want to install on Microsoft Edge and click the Add to Chrome button. The extension, in principle intended to work on Google Chrome, should be installed without a hitch on the new version of Microsoft’s web browser.
