User reviews

Users appreciate this Edge add-on for enabling easy opening of links in Chrome, streamlining workflows involving multiple browsers. It is especially useful for those who use Edge primarily for communication and Chrome for browsing or development. However, the add-on requires installing an additional native application, causing some security concerns and installation difficulties. Functional issues like tabs closing unexpectedly and lack of support for selecting Chrome profiles were reported by multiple users. Despite some usability and compatibility challenges, the extension is considered very helpful by most reviewers who depend on cross-browser tab management.

Pros

Allows seamless opening of links from Edge in Chrome, improving workflow for users who use both browsers.
Simplifies the process of transferring tabs or links between Edge and Chrome with the click of a button.
Helpful for users who keep communication apps in Edge but do development or general browsing in Chrome.
Requires installation of an additional native client or helper application as described, which enables its full functionality.
Provides convenience especially for users who actively switch between Edge and Chrome regularly.

Cons

Requires installation of an additional application or native client, which may raise security concerns due to registry updates.
Some users experienced functional issues such as tabs closing unexpectedly or Chrome not launching correctly when opening links.
The addon does not support targeting specific Chrome profiles; it always opens links in the last active Chrome window which may cause access issues.
Poor user experience or difficulty during installation noted by some users who attempted multiple times.
Compatibility issues on some webpages were mentioned where the extension does not work as expected.

Отлично, очень не хватало такого инструмента. Я активно использую Chrome и Edge в течение дня, устала уже копировать-вставлять ссылки из одного браузера в другой. Установила в Chrome, чтобы открывать ссылки и вкладки в Edge, и в Edge - чтобы открывать в Chrome. Прямо волшебство какое-то: тыкнул кнопку и в другом браузере открывается вкладка. Не забудьте установить дополнительное приложение из описания, без него работать не будет. Спасибо разработчику, очень помогает!

Funciona a medias, cuando uso "Force Open in Chrome" la opción de no cerrar la pestaña no funciona. En la 1ra pestaña cuando ingreso la URL, ejemplo "youtube.com", se cierra el Edge y nunca inicia el Chrome, para que funcione bien debo tener otra pestaña abierta.
