Edge is compatible with Chrome themes: Here are the steps to customize the look of your browser

Edge for Chromium, Microsoft's new browser continues to gain features, sometimes functional and other times merely aesthetic, as is the case with this one. Microsoft Edge also supports Chrome themes, a feature that is available on the Redmond browser's Canary Channel.

In the absence of making the leap to the Dev Channel, Beta and the stable version, Edge is gaining ground by acquiring features that are increasingly equating it with the two great alternatives on the market such as Chrome and Firefox.And in this article we are going to see the steps needed to install a Chrome theme on Edge

How to install a theme in Edge

Chromium-based Edge already offered support for using Chrome extensions and now also you can install Google browser themes, a possibility of Edge on both Windows and macOS. You just have to follow a series of steps to be able to have any custom theme downloaded from the Chrome Web Store in Edge.

To be able to install Chrome themes in Edge it is necessary to have the version of the Canary Channel on the computer. Once downloaded, just open Edge and in the address bar enable the experimental function that allows you to install custom themes

"

To enable this option type Edge://flags (without quotes) in the address bar and search for the option Allow installation of external store themes in the list that is displayed. The best thing, to save us work, is to use the search engine in the upper zone."

"

We enable Allow installation of external store themes placing the marker on Enabledand restart the browser."

"

Back in Edge, we access the Chrome Web Store, the themes section and choose the custom theme that we want to install in Edge. Click on Add to Chrome."

"

We restart Edge again and we will have the theme applied.We can check it in Edge by going to Settings, Appearance and Custom Theme At that point, we can delete the theme at a time when we are no longer interested or change it to another one."

These are the steps to be able to have a greater degree of customization in Edge. It is to be hoped that this option will not take long to reach the Edge Dev Channel and with a little more time to the stable version of Edge.
