Microsoft recently released the new Microsoft Edge Browser powered by Chromium for public preview and testing. We have already talked about installing Chrome Web Store extensions on Microsoft Edge, synchronizing browser data on Microsoft Edge, enabling dark mode on Microsoft Edge, etc. Today, you will learn how to install Google Chrome browser themes on the new Microsoft Edge browser with the Chromium engine. This is a bit tricky because it uses several extensions of the Chrome online store.
This article explains how to install themes and extensions into Edge Chromium from the Chrome Online Store or other third-party sources.
Installing Chrome Themes on Edge Chromium
As for Edge Chromium, all the extensions and chromium issues work there. But any source other than the Windows store, such as the Chrome online store, is considered a third party source. Therefore, you need to enable the setting in Edge Chromium that allows you to install themes and extensions from other sources.
- To install the theme from the Chrome Store, users must install the Get CRX utility. First, open the
- Microsoft Edge Chromium browser, click the 3-point icon and select Extensions .

Uninstalling Chrome Themes on Edge Chromium
Uninstalling the theme is a bit tricky because we used a small workaround to get it.
First, you need to close Edge. Open Task Manager and make sure that no instances or services associated with Edge are running. If you see something related to Edge, select it and close it.
Open File Explorer and navigate to the following location ;
C:\Using Your Local Microsoft Local User Name Edge Default User Data
Navigate to the “Preferences” file in the “Default” folder. Open it with Notepad or another text editor of your choice. Use the search function to find the “Subject”.
You will find a line like this ;
"theme":{"id":"aghfnjkcakhmadgdomlmlhhaocbkloab","pack"
The “aghfnjkcakhmadgdomlmlhhaocbkloab” bit is the identifier of the theme you have installed. It will be different depending on the theme you have installed, so it will not match the example. You have to delete everything to make the line look like this;
"theme":{"id":" ","pack"
Save the change, then open Edge. The subject is now gone. You can see a message in Edge saying that it did not shut down properly. This is probably the result of a process related to Edge being closed by the task manager.
