The Edge to Chrome for Google Search Chrome extension allows Microsoft Edge users to impersonate Google Chrome by updating multiple HTTP headers during Google searches. This helps avoid Google's frequent CAPTCHA prompts and annoying Chrome install notifications often triggered for Edge users. Since Edge is built on Chromium, spoofing Chrome does not break functionality but enhances a smoother Google search experience.

This open-source extension alters four headers beyond the usual User-Agent, effectively making Google recognize Edge as Chrome. It's a practical tool for users seeking a seamless search experience without Google's imposed obstacles. For any bugs or feature requests, the project is actively maintained on GitHub at StandBackLabs/Edge2Chrome.

One word: perfect. Fourteen words: Can you make it for Gmail as well? That one bothers me even more! Edit: scratch that, it already does work for Gmail and pretty much all other Google services I tried, thanks!

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Edge to Chrome for Google Search requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

Edge to Chrome for Google Search has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
