MicrosoftSign in with a Google account - Discussion
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.
Hi Elliot Kirk
Please consider Not adding Google services. you have spent so much time removing Google stuff from Chromium, it doesn't make sense to add them back.
Only do it if and only if Google add sign-in using Microsoft account to their Chrome browser.
I bet they are not even thinking about it let alone putting it for a debate. you guys are really awesome for that and you know better than me that people with Google account can easily sign up for a Microsoft account without even needing to create a new Email address.
also there are facts like this.

How do I protect my online privacy from 'surveillance capitalism'?
I don't want to Give a Data Mining company such as Google yet more information.
many of us use Microsoft products for a reason and that is to get distance from Google ecosystem.
Windows 10 is almost installed on over 1 Billion devices. there is no shortage of Microsoft account.
i think there are more registered Microsoft accounts than registered Google accounts.
- I don't understand. I have never had a problem with using Google products and services.
No, I mean people think Microsoft copies Google, but look at this community, for example, and you will realize that Google doesn't have a public community like this.
- Google has a fourm.
- Hate isn't an argument.
