Hi Crystal,

You can run Android apps on Chromebook so I believe you can run Microsoft Edge..

Microsoft Edge – Apps on Google Play

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=c...

The experience would not be same as desktop, though.

    It appears Microsoft is not making it available through the Play Store for Chromebooks. Other browsers are available through the Play Store, but not Edge (at least not right now).

    I also tried the Google Play link posted above but I get my device is not compatible which is an Acer R11 and when I search in the Play Store Microsoft Edge doesn't come up.

    Thanks.

    I tried your link above and I get a message stating that this is not compatible with my device, which is an Acer Chromebook 15 (CB3-532). I had wondered why Edge or Microsoft Edge or Edge Browser or any combination resulted in zero found when previously searched in Play Store. However, your direct link takes me right to it. I guess I can try side loading it, but most side loaded apps assume you're using a phone, so on a 16:9 display (Chromebook) the results are 9:16, which look ridiculous. And when you tweak the settings, to make it 16:9, it's a mess; Hence, why it states it's not compatible.

    I wanted the Edge browser on my Chromebook as it has a built in reader, the ability to read article out loud. I guess I can find a work around, but it's nice when said features are built in. Plus, I value earning my Microsoft points, too. For now, I'll use the Bing search app to earn points, but right-click is not available.
