For now, it's useless without Microsoft approval. I'll give Edge another chance if/when they open up their extension platform to everyone. This is why I'm still not switching to Edge. When it comes to browsers, I prefer freedom over performance and efficiency. There is already a very simple userscript available that you can install right now to get this "banned" functionality in Edge.Įdge's extension ecosystem is a walled garden. If I make a Bing2Google userscript for Tampermonkey, Microsoft will probably take down Tampermonkey eventually once they learn about the userscript. Now that Edge supports extensions, I can make a Bing2Google extension for Edge, but Microsoft will never accept it. Someone made a Bing2Google extension for Chrome, and Microsoft responded by making Cortana only open Bing searches in Edge. It wouldn't surprise me if there is an internal conflict at Microsoft about allowing Edge extensions.īack when Windows 10 came out, Cortana opened Bing searches in your default browser.
