Microsoft Edge Chromium Stable Final offline installer for Windows PC is a Chromium project so that you can use the extensions/add-ons from the Google Chrome browser.
Overview of Microsoft Edge Chromium
Its resemblance to Google Chrome is quite considerable, except for the more marked targets of the interface and less pronounced rounded edges. Memory consumption and CPU usage are relatively even with the same Google Chrome, and you can barely notice the differences.
Google Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, and Yandex are different browsers but have a joint base: Chromium. It is an open-source project created by Google and is the most fundamental part of the browser, its engine. Therefore, you can think of Chrome as a modification of Chromium, to which Google has added its codecs, plugins, and specific options.
However, all browsers that use Chromium as a base share some common aspects. For example, everyone can use the same catalog of extensions. Although some browsers decide to include their extension stores to have more personal control of what they offer, in the end, they can also install third-party ones.
This popularity of Chromium has made some other companies trying to use their engine for their browsers surrender. The last one has been Mircosoft announcing that they will use Edge Chromium, although some other browsers like Firefox try to resist.
Therefore, Edge is passed to Chromium for practical purposes, using Chrome extensions. Many pages optimized for the Google browser will be better used in Edge. Both browsers will go from being direct competition to being simple brothers or cousins who share a joint base, although Microsoft will still be able to improve it to make it stand out.
