By all it is known that the Google Chrome browser incorporates by default the function of sending anything that is displayed in the browser directly to your television or screen, using Chromecast. But maybe instead of using Chrome, they prefer to use Microsoft Edge..
Although the new Edge browser is based on Chromium, when we try to send content to the Chromecast, we will notice that the function is not in the same place as it is in the Google Chrome browser.
This does not mean that Chromium-based Microsoft Edge cannot share content with the TV or screen via Chromecast or any other Cast device. The difference is that the function is used differently. In addition, the function to transmit content wirelessly through the WiFi network is available by default in Edge, so you do not need to install any type of extension or plug-in..
