Hey, everyone! Thanks so much for this discussion, we've learned a lot from your comments. We'd like to first make it clear that we do not plan to integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default. We are considering including an opt-in experience for users to attach their Google account to Microsoft Edge but are not ready to make a decision on it just yet.
I'd like to take this time to reiterate what Elliot posted back in November: One option available to you today to use a single user identifier across the various services you use is to create a new Microsoft Account using a @gmail address.
As you know, you can currently import your data from Chrome by going to edge://settings/importData. You can also sign into Google websites and remember your password in Microsoft Edge to reduce the number of times you need to sign in. Accessing your Microsoft Edge data on-the-go is easily done by signing into Microsoft Edge with a Microsoft account and syncing with Microsoft Edge across other devices and mobile.
As always, we will update here once we have more information. Please continue to provide your feedback and suggestions around this feature; the team will continue to review feedback even if we have moved something to Not Planned.
HotCakeXAs much as I don't like it, he does have a point. At my school, most services have been transferred to google, mostly through google docs and Gmail. Even though we have office, only the tech geeks use it because the other kids and teachers simply don't know about or aren't familiar with Microsoft's online suite. I'm trying to slowly change that, but for the time being, Microsoft will have to provide some support for google services(which never really worked on edge to begin with, besides Gmail), or people won't have a reason to switch.
online version is good for quick and temporary usage but universities, schools, businesses etc don't use temporary versions, or do they?
honestly Office has been available since forever.
I didn't know any other type of word processor such as Microsoft Word until i randomly tried a linux OS on a VM lol, i wasn't tech savvy or anything. hotmail or Live was my go to Email provider because of it's cool Live messenger and everything. Google? it's mostly known for its search engine between non tech savvy people, at least that's my experience 🙂
