microsoft has added support for login Edge with a Google account in version 150 in windows and macOS, according to the browser’s stable release notes published on July 2, 2026. Users can now sign in with a Google account along with their Microsoft account.
This feature is gradually rolling out to all Edge users on both platforms. System administrators can manage their availability using the new NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.
This change marks a change in stance from Microsoft in 2020, when the company said it had no plans to integrate Google services into Edge by default. The addition was first announced in June via the Microsoft 365 roadmap.
What Google Account Sign-In Adds to Microsoft Edge
After setting up a Google account on Edge 150, users can access several new features. They can sign in to third-party websites more easily using Google, sync data between devices through Google Account Services, and use Microsoft and Google Account features within the same browser session.
Before Edge 150, users who wanted to work on Google services in Edge had to find workarounds. Native login support simplifies this process for those using both ecosystems.
Microsoft has introduced the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled group policy for enterprise and enterprise environments. System administrators can use this to enable or disable Google Account sign-in on managed devices, depending on their organization’s security or compliance needs.
Settings can be configured through standard Group Policy or through Intune management channels. Microsoft provides detailed documentation about this policy in Microsoft Learn.
Administrators are advised to review the settings carefully before rolling them out more broadly, especially if their organization has specific policies regarding third-party account integrations.
What macOS administrators and users should know
Edge 150 is the latest version compatible with macOS 12 Monterey. Starting with Edge 151, all later versions will require macOS 13 Ventura or later.
macOS Monterey users should consider upgrading to macOS 13 Ventura or later if their hardware allows before the release of Edge 151. If hardware limitations prevent an operating system upgrade, they can continue using Edge 150 for as long as possible.
Once Edge 151 arrives, they may want to explore alternative browsers that support unsupported macOS versions.
Microsoft has not provided a specific end date for support for Edge 150 in Monterey. Security updates for Edge 150 will follow the usual two-week release cycle until the version ends support.
Edge 150 has migrated the Workspaces feature to a new architecture. Workspaces allows users to create a persistent set of tabs that can be saved for later.
The architecture of the new version completely eliminates the sharing function. Microsoft states that this change is intended to improve the reliability and performance of tab sets.
Users who previously shared workspaces with colleagues will no longer be able to do so through the integrated feature. For those who need to share tabs collaboratively, alternatives include sending links via email or chat, using OneDrive or SharePoint document libraries to distribute lists of URLs, or exporting and sharing bookmarks.
Microsoft originally took a stance against integrating Google services into Edge by default in 2020. This reflected the company’s broader strategy of using Edge to further its own technological goals, even though the browser is built on the Chromium engine, where Google engineers influence major decisions, such as the move to the companion Manifest V2 standard.
The rollback comes amid increased scrutiny of Edge’s role in Windows. A recent open letter from the Browser Choice Alliance urged Microsoft to stop offering refunds, dark patterns, and system update practices that direct users toward Edge instead of other browsers.
The addition of Google Account sign-in to Edge is a limited concession, providing additional functionality for users using both ecosystems, without altering Edge’s fundamental integration with Microsoft accounts.
How to use Google Sign in on Edge 150
To use the new Google Account sign-in feature in Edge 150, start by updating Edge to version 150.0.4078.48 or later via the About menu in Microsoft Edge. Next, open Edge Settings and go to Profiles.
From there, select Add Account or Sign In and choose Google as your sign-in provider. Follow the standard Google sign-in process to complete authentication.
Users have the option to keep Microsoft and Google accounts within the same Edge profile or use separate profiles for each account, depending on their preferences.
Edge 150 is now available on the stable channel for Windows and macOS. Users can start the update by opening Edge, clicking the three-dot menu, selecting Help & Feedback, and then choosing About Microsoft Edge. The update will be installed automatically once it is available.
For enterprise deployments, it is recommended that you verify the Group Policy settings related to the new NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled option before proceeding with a broader deployment.
Users running Edge 149 or earlier will continue to have their existing sign-in options until the update hits their device.
Microsoft has not announced any additional integration with Google services beyond account sign-in. Users interested in broader integration of Google services in Edge should keep an eye on Microsoft’s roadmap updates for future changes.
