Broken Extensions
Another broken extension, and very important one. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/arc-welder/emfinbmielocnlhgmfkkmkngdoccbadn allows to install and use various Android apps, in particular popular media center apps, in Windows using Chromium as base for video playback, and more... But installation of such extensions supporting apps is broken in Edge Chromium - thus contributing to alienating current Chrome fans contrary to Edge team goal to raise browser usage. Instead there's a tendency to overload browser Settings with various unneeded and duplicating OS shortcuts. 😢
When installing Edge Dev release, it opens the release page listing among other things Known Issues. One issue is related to extensions support: "Extensions that require 3rd party programs installed don't work so far. We are working to address the issue."
This is unclear, can someone from Edge team give an example? Does that include Google NACL apps, and Android apps supported through ARC Welder? Will ALL 3rd party scripts for Chrome be supported via scripting extensions like https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en?
