Windows 10: Notification says Google Docs is not supported in Microsoft Chromium Edge

Microsoft has started using Chromium as the base for Edge and the redesigned browser is already available for Windows 10. While Google Google seemed to be all supportive of this move and it welcomed Microsoft’s contribution, some of the apps produced by Google are not working in Microsoft Chromium Edge.

Earlier this month, many users noticed that Google’s messaging service, Hangouts Meet, stopped working on Microsoft Edge. If you open Meet in Edge, it will prompt you to download Chrome or Firefox. However, Google denied the allegations and the company told media publications that the reality is different.

Google says Meet only works with whitelisted browsers and the company hasn’t whitelisted new Edge since it is in pre-release stage. As per Google spokesperson, Meet should work in Edge again when the browser is generally available.

“With the recent release of developer previews for Edge, we are thrilled to be able to offer a new preview experience of Hangouts Meet, and we plan to officially support it once it becomes generally available,” Google was quoted as saying.

Google Docs is also not supported




It turns out that not just Google Meet, but Google Docs is also not supported by Microsoft Chromium Edge.

If you open Google Docs in Microsoft Chromium Edge, the browser displays an error message stating that Edge is not supported by Google. The list of supported browsers include Microsoft Edge, but it appears to be the classic Edge.



Google Docs could be using user-agent sniffing to display the notification on browsers that are not whitelisted. As Chromium Edge is in pre-release, Google hasn’t whitelisted the browser yet. If you change the user-agent in Chromium Edge, the error goes away.

Incopatability with Google Docs

Hi Ba,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I am sorry to know that Google Docs print option not working as expected.

Try with a different browser and check if it works.

It could be a browser or browser's settings issue.

I suggest you to run the Printer Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

• 
  In Search window type Troubleshooting and click on it to open it.
  
• 
  Click on Hardware and Sound.
  
• 
  Then click on Printer to run the troubleshooter. Follow onscreen steps.
  

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Uninstall Chromium on Windows 10

I have Windows 10 home, tried your instructions and they Didn't work. Chromium isn't listed in add and remove programs. Searched all files and folders and it came up with nothing. I had short cut listed in my start menu, if clicked on it opened Google
chrome! I went to task manager where Chromium was listed, and right clicked on it and brought up, open file location. It found the file, it had Chromium and its other file contents. I clicked on delete Chromium and I deleted all the other contents of the
file. Clicked on the shortcut said the file was gone, deleted shortcut and now I guess its gone!

Googling Chromium says it isn't spyware or a virus just a version of google chrome. Open source code that was used to make Google Chrome. When I opened it, it went to Google. I appreciated your reply. Now I guess if I want to use it I'll just download
Google Chrome. I already have Edge, IE11, And Firefox.

 

Microsoft’s new Chromium Edge browser leaked online.


I wonder if Edge with Chromium base will be good enough to use instead of pure Google Chrome when it is released...Didn't microsoft say it will still have edge like features in it? If it does, i would think it wouldn't be the same as pure Chrome...or could it? *Wink
