Edge as Chrome

A small Microsoft Edge extension that makes Edge identify itself as Google Chrome on the sites you choose, so "unsupported browser" messages go away. Every other site still sees normal Edge.

It changes all three places a site can check:

  • the User-Agent request header (removes Edg/…)
  • the Sec-CH-UA client-hint headers ("Microsoft Edge" becomes "Google Chrome")
  • the JavaScript values navigator.userAgent, navigator.appVersion and navigator.userAgentData

Install

  1. Open edge://extensions in Edge.
  2. Turn on Developer mode (bottom-left).
  3. Click Load unpacked and select this folder.
  4. Optional: click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar and pin Edge as Chrome.

No sites are turned on until you add them.

Use

Click the toolbar icon:

  • Turn on for adds the current site and reloads the tab.
  • Turn off for this site removes it.
  • Type a domain in the box and click Add to add one manually.
  • Click ✕ next to a site to remove it.

Updating

After editing any file, go to edge://extensions and click the reload icon on the extension's card.

Notes

  • Edge may show a "Turn off extensions in developer mode" banner at startup. Choose Keep (or close the banner) to keep it running.
  • If a site still complains, it may be checking something this extension doesn't change. Most "unsupported browser" checks only look at the values listed above.
