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.

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.

I own a Asus Flip C302C which allows a lot of android apps but not all.  Not Wyze for instance nor MS Edge.

Answer 3

The playstore comes u but says not compatible with your device if you have a chromebook even with android apps enabled

Answer 4

MS Edge is on Google Play Store but not avaiable for Chromebook.

Also

Moving Chromebook to DEV mode and trying install manually the APK erroring.

Microsoft need to do more@
