The new Microsoft Edge browser that is based on Chromium has just been released officially; the previews of the browser are available for Windows 10 only and some channels are missing at the time of writing but releases for other supported platforms and the first final build are not too far away at this point.

One of the core questions that users may have is about the differences between the Chromium-based Google Chrome browser and the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge web browser: how different are the two browsers?

It is clear that the browsers use the same core, Chromium, and that they look similar on first glance.

Microsoft published a list of services that it replaces or disabled in the Chromium-based version of Microsoft Edge recently (it may have leaked only, but it is publicly available).

The list is huge at this point; it includes Google specific services for the most part. Here is a screenshot that lists disabled or replaced services. 

Here is the list of services:
