Google Earth also not supported in Edge Canary
it says
Oh no! Google Earth isn't supported by your browser yet. Try this link in Chrome instead. If you don't have Chrome installed, download it here.
Version 76.0.145.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
this is laughable how Google is doing this on purpose. it's something as simple as adding a user-agent to their sites which they could've done this a long time ago when the new Edge first released. Edge Canary has a lot more features and capabilities than google chrome.
To me this website works correctly in the latest canary version.
Greetings.
pneenkoalabear For those of you who want to test the Google Earth preview beta, it is online and seems to work.
- Yup, Google Earth beta is working with Edge Version 77.0.218.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
, the Google Earth normal ver however is still not working. Google hasn't backed off from their stupid Edge blockade yet.
I think it has to do with Google's proprietary Native Client. WebAssembly is the standard.
I'm not even sure what WebAssembly and Native Client *actually do* but I know it has to do with performance.Edit: I did a quick search. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18677689
"It looks like they are waiting on WebAssembly Threading. I agree with you though, Google should help develop WebAssembly vs just creating a Chrome only solution:
"Our 3D rendering engine currently uses a Chrome-only technology called Native Client to power Earth Studio. However, we’re closely tracking the evolution of WebAssembly (especially threading). Stay tuned!""
"> Google should help develop WebAssembly vs just creating a Chrome only solution
"> Google should help develop WebAssembly
Google is heavily involved in WebAssembly planning and implementation in Chrome/V8. They have threading enabled chrome://flags"
From these three comments I feel like Google is at fault. I'm really happy that a quick search lead to so much information! :)
That is very strange. I am using Windows 10. I disabled my extension in Edge Chromium dev. I closed Google Earth and Edge Chromium. I rebooted and restarted Edge Chromium and tried Google Earth and still get the error. No idea why it works for you but not for me.
Google Earth works on Chrome only, and does not work on any other browser.

(Edited at the request of HotCakeX)tomscharbach I run 76.0.145.0 and all I get is a stupid page vaunting how great Google Earth is and asking me to open it in Chrome. After that, it tells me that my browser isn't supported.
No, I'm getting it with the dev version. This is the error I get.
Aw snap! Google Earth isn't supported by your browser yet. Try this link in Chrome instead. If you don't have Chrome installed, download it here.
The people who can do Google Earth Flybys might not be the same that could implement WebAssembly Threading, even though they work at the same company."
