hussain5416 Thanks for the feedback! Some follow-up questions for you:

3) What would you prefer to see in that space? Or would you just want the logo resized?

4) If you're comfortable doing so, can you share a screenshot to better illustrate this?

5) Do the websites without icons have them on the desktop version of MS Edge, or are they lacking in both places?

Thanks for replying, For your follow up questions:
3.) There are many requests on this forum about increasing the no. of tiles on desktop browser (or add a new row, making a complete 16 (8+8) tiles on ntp), So, I would like if they make the no. of tiles same in android version too and sync them with edge desktop.

4.) I think you misunderstood, I'm not uncomfortable with the process, I just want the icons for the bracketed things in place of ticks I've placed.(look at the screenshot), Without icons they just don't look fine.

5.) Yes, the icons(favicon) are present on the desktop version, but not on Android.

Question: Can you share anything about 1.) and 2.)

Hope this help. Would wait for your reply.

hussain5416 I spoke with the head of the Android product team, and here is what they said:

"1. This is unlikely to happen in the short term, since many extensions have a significant impact on battery usage and browser performance, and it would be challenging to enable while maintaining a good user experience.

2. We’re looking into it but currently we’re focused on other sync requests, like history.

3-5. Thanks for the feedback!"

  Deleted 1.) I was hoping for lil bit more from the team (since kiwi's open source, I thought that could fasten the development), but hey, it's upto the dev team. What I think is developing these 2 features specially extensions is a feature worth spending time on.
