Hi Crystal,

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

Install Android apps on your Chromebook - Chromebook Help

Microsoft Edge – Apps on Google Play

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

The experience would not be same as desktop, though.

    Stating "So I believe" is not evidence.

    Edge will not run on Chromebooks with ARM processors. 

    To run on Intel processors Linux must first be installed. My Acer 14 Chromebook does not have sufficient space for this and, anyway, it's a workround.

    Some years ago Microsoft were criticised for making IE the default browser on Windows devices and eventually forced to offer other browser options. Why aren't Google forced to make Edge available on Chrome OS.

    Final comment. Although Android apps can now be uploaded to Chromebooks most, in my experience, show up phone size on the screen. 

    I use my Chromebook for web browsing, YouTube and casting. But otherwise they are very limited.
