Hi Ramesh,

Allow me to answer you.  Beside putting your comments & queries in this Forum there are 2 ways available.  One is submit via https://microsoftedgesupport.microsoft.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?. The other is using Mr. 🙂 located at the top-right of the browser window.  Click on that to submit Feedback.


About extensions: For Edge C, MS Store extensions may not work OR one may not find a certain extension offered by MS.  However, one can, also, pull extensions from the https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions.  Check out what is available there to replace what is faded & more; if what you seek is not in MS extensions, you may very likely find it in Chrome.


Cheers,
Drew

Drew1903 Thanks Drew. Will use both / either option to share my feedback on Edge Insider Program. 

BTW, the extension I want is available in MS Web Store but remains greyed out on installation. But it isn't available in Chrome Store. Maybe the MS Web Store doesn't have the updated version of the extension.

But, the same extension when I install in my regular Edge browser (not the Chromium-based one) has the same extension working fine. So, something is broken in this Edge version, I presume. Anyway, this is a Dev channel release, so will probably get sorted out over time, before its final stable version launch.

    You're welcome.

    What is the specific extension to which you refer?

    Cheers,
    Drew

      Drew1903 Hi Drew, I use McAfee A/v which installs a McAfee WebAdvisor extn/add-on in IE, FF, & Chrome by itself. One has to install it manually from MS-Store in Edge (regular) which works fine. But, when I did so in Edge (Chromium) it installs without a hitch but remains greyed out on all websites. After your initial response to my original post, I removed the extn and tried to find it on Chrome Store from within Edge-Chromium, but it isn't available there. So, right now I feel kinda' less 'safe & secure' using Edge-C without any a/v support in it. Have posted this as a 'feedback' using a option on the toolbar. Hope someone fixes it soon !

       

      Cheers

        Ramesh,

        I have a hunch you will not like what I have say in response.  Uninstall McAfee.  Between Windows 10 & Edge or Edge C there is no reason not to feel safe & secure.  And that is without something as unnecessary as McAfee.  I have oft removed it for clients & certainly, never recommended it.  And, it's not needed, anyway. With McAfee gone you won't be thinking or suggesting something needs to be fixed, soon, either.

        Cheers,
        Drew
