Chromium Edge

Unlike Chrome, Edge offers you to choose the look of the new page tabs and you can also try experimental features from the flags menu. The dark mode is not available as Windows 7 does not support it natively.

You can also sign-in to your Microsoft account and sync your browsing history across Windows 10, macOS, Android and even iOS devices.
