But what if you want to use another browser like Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge? The answer to that question is not as simple as you might think.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, you\u2019d assume a <em>Chrome<\/em>book\u2014which runs <em>Chrome<\/em> OS\u2014can only use the <em>Chrome<\/em> browser. After all, many people consider Chrome OS to be just a glorified browser anyway.<\/p>\n<p>For a long time, this was true. Chrome was the only browser you could use. However, things have changed in recent years\u2014if you\u2019re creative. There are two methods you can use to install a third-party browser on a Chromebook.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Chromebooks in 2022: Can One Be Your Full-Time Computer?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install_Linux_Browsers_on_a_Chromebook\"><\/span>Install Linux Browsers on a Chromebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/microsoft-edge-chromebook.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Microsoft Edge on Chromebook\" width=\"650\" height=\"368\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a full-blown desktop-class browser to replace Chrome on a Chromebook, you\u2019re going to need to use Linux. This will allow you to install pretty much any browser that works on Linux. That includes Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you\u2019ll need a Chromebook that supports Linux <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s for this to work. If your device does support it, you\u2019ll see \u201cLinux\u201d in the Chromebook settings. We have a full walkthrough for enabling Linux apps on a Chromebook.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re done with that, you can install apps through the command line or from developer websites. Check out our guides on installing Firefox and Edge on Chrome OS.

Chromebooks include access to the Google Play Store. And what can you find in the Play Store? Browsers.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Play Store is built for Android apps, these browsers are mostly intended for phones. However, some include tablet support that makes them look nicer on laptops and other computers.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing to note is not all developers make their Android browsers available on Chrome OS. For example, the Android version of Microsoft Edge is not available on Chromebooks, but you can find several versions of Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>The installation process for browsers from the Play Store is the same as any other app or <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> on Chrome OS.
