Themes
QueenNini - I did some research and found a backdoor to use Chrome Theme Extensions on Edge. I tried it and it did work. https://mspoweruser.com/chromium-edge-supports-chrome-themes-heres-how-to-install-them/
My snipping tool example using Honeysuckle Theme from Chrome Store (I tried this one because it's was the brightest and allow for demo of the entire browser. I also tried Banana):

I tried the Chrome color extension theme on Edge (Canary) when Edge first hit beta to see how it would look, and it didn't work. The message coming from the Chrome store was something about it not being compatible with Edge version. It's one of the few areas of the Chrome Store that's not able to cross over. I don't know if it has to do with the user interface of Edge not matching up to the coding of the Chrome extension themes, or if Chrome blocked it.
At a later point in time it would be interesting to see Edge add their own compatible themes or other color options Like Firefox did with their browser. Google Chrome has added an experiment flag to their Canary that if click to "dark" it makes all web pages dark theme (without having to use any theme extension) including the web pages themselves (not just the browser) so Chrome is going in the direction of Edge with that.
I'm happy with the simple light/dark/default theme as I pretty much just use the light theme and occasionally switch to the dark theme, but I'm aware many Chrome crossover users might want more color themes. See what happens I guess.
This is the Google Chrome Canary flag they added of the dark/light option without having to use a theme extension:
