<p>1) Why would you believe it would ever happen?</p><p>2) Could Edge in the Chrome app store be anything more than an Edge UI on top of Blink with all Google's services still the defaults behind the scenes?</p><p>3) Since the Chrome browser is the basis for apps which could run offline, e.g., Text and Caret (the editor), which I don't believe are PWAs, you'd still have the Chrome browser installed. How much storage would a 2nd browser like Edge consume on a Chromebook which may have only a 16GB internal drive?</p>
<p>Using Edge on a Chromebook is pointless. It might cut down on the amount of data that Google gets from the browser, though I am not even sure of that, but it is still a Chromebook and you are still connected to your Google account so it would be an exercise in privacy theater.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.thurrott.com/forums/microsoft/google/thread/edge-on-chromebooks#556673" target="_blank"><em>In reply to codymesh:</em></a></p><p>If Chrome OS can run Android apps, and there's a version of Edge for Android, could Chrome OS run Android Edge? Of course that leads to the obvious question why anyone would want to run a phone browser on a laptop or a desktop computer (Chromebox).</p>
<p>Chrome on ChromeOS IS the OS – everything revolves around it. Why on earth would anyone even consider trying to run Credge on a Chomebook. It seems pointless and pretty stupid.</p>
