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.
Once Edge runs natively on Linux (x86 and arm), then there will be one browser that runs on the most popular systems (xbox one was thrown in for good measure). And then we get all the wonderful features of the new edge.
Let's see where this goes now.

Something else I would like to point out is that Firefox, Chrome, and Edge (which are probably the most popular browsers) run on: Android (all), Windows (all), Macos (all), Linux (Chrome and Firefox), Xbox one (Edge (old?)).

You have already been given the answer to this as posted as Best Answer. What part of it did you not get??? No one wants their info sold to the highest bidder, Google or any part of that company is NOT being added in......
The End!
