Chrome Refugee with Initial Experience Questions...
First post here. Been in software development since the 80's on the human side - human factors, flight simulation modeling, user interface design, UX, etc... - and have used all popular browsers. ...
Hi,
welcome to the community,
first just wanted to let you know that there is an Edit button, you can use it to modify your post and comments if you made a typo etc.
Microsoft has its own addons store because it's for Edge browser. I know it uses Chromium under the hood but it's not Chrome.
Edge is using Chromium, with Google stuff removed from it.
Opera is also using Chromium but they have their own extension/addons store.
Edge has different UI, extension and themes in Edge addons store are not guaranteed to work with other Chromium based browsers, the same applies to extensions available on Chrome webstore.
plus, as an Edge user, I wouldn't want to use Google services when I clearly am using a Microsoft browser.
You can set a custom URL for new tab page using this policy:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#newtabpagelocation
by default, Edge has its own default NTP.
I don't think text size on address bar is oversight or large, i think it's the right size. I don't like Chrome's small address bar and UI elements.
