Edge shows a Password Reveal icon on password fields Chrome does not do so on Desktop.Edge 79 and Chrome do not support this registry key. Edge 18 and Internet Explorer allow an App Protocol handler to opt-out of warning the user on open using the WarnOnOpen registry key.This API is not available in Edge 79 or Chrome. Edge 18 and Internet Explorer offer a msLaunchUri API for launching and detecting App Protocols.In Chrome/Edge79, the navigation attempt is silently ignored. In Edge18 and Internet Explorer, attempting to navigate to an App Protocol with no handler installed shows a prompt to visit the Microsoft Store to find a handler.For security reasons, Edge79 and Chrome block navigation to file:// URLs from non-file URLs, although Edge 95+ has a policy to somewhat relax that.Note: I’ve previously blogged about interop issues between Edge18 and Chrome. We expect there will be some behavioral deltas between Edge79+ and its Chrome-peer versions, so I’ll note those here too. When comparing Edge and Chrome behavior, be sure to compare against the corresponding Chrome Stable, Beta, Dev and Canary channels Edge 80 vs Chrome 80, etc.
In general, Edge79+ will behave very similarly to Chrome. Compatibility DeltasĪs our new Edge Insider builds roll out to the public, we’re starting to triage reports of compatibility issues where Edge79+ (the new Chromium-based Edge, aka Anaheim) behaves differently than the old Edge (Edge18, aka Spartan, aka Edge Legacy) and/or Google Chrome.
Note: I expect to update this post over time.
