As you might aware that the new stable version of the Edge browser has been released in January 2020 and it comes with lots of useful features since the day of launch. Seeing this fruitful development, several users attempted to install Chrome Themes on Microsoft Edge from the Chrome Web Store. However, they failed to do so and got an error message saying “An error has occurred”.
Although with the latest version 82.0.444.0 (or higher) of the Canary build, Microsoft has started rolling out this feature. In order to activate this feature, all you need to go to the flag page and then switch it to enable. If this experiment becomes effective, the other channels of the Edge browser will soon be able to get the themes for Google Chrome. So, let’s move to the below section and know the way to use it.
