Microsoft Just Gave You a Reason to Use Edge on Android
1 min read
Summary
Microsoft has begun rolling out extension support for its Android browser, Edge, with the most recent release.
Users will now be able to optimise their experience with add-ons or extensions, such as Dark Reader, which inverts bright colours into darker ones, or Keepa, which tracks the pricing history of items on Amazon.
After updating Edge, users can install extensions by going to the Extensions section of the settings, where they’ll be redirected to the extensions store.
From there, they can browse the available extensions and select the ‘get’ button to begin the installation.
Edge is following in the footsteps of browsers such as Firefox, Samsung Internet and Kiwi Browser by introducing extension support on its Android version.
With this update, Edge has become one of the first Chromium-based browsers to feature extensions on mobile, which gives it an advantage over Google’s Chrome.
Currently, Microsoft is offering 22 extensions, with more expected to be rolled out soon.
