MicrosoftExtensions - Chrome or Microsoft Store?
Microsoftsambul95 The Edge team presently has no plan to ship PNACL, and we currently maintain the understanding that Google plans to remove this extension from Chrome starting this quarter.
I would be interested in better understanding the specific sites on which you are using PNACL content.
(It sounds like you're a bit confused about how Twitter works; Twitter doesn't allow one user to delete another user's post.)
"I would be interested in better understanding the specific sites on which you are using PNACL content."
You are artificially narrowing the subject to specific websites support. Despite Google again clearly committed to broader continuing applications and extensions support in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/native-client-discuss/oMHnO-6RAas:
"We are now revising the deprecation timeline and setting Q2’2019 as the formal target to remove support for PNaCl from web content. We will continue to support PNaCl in Chrome Apps and Extensions beyond that date."
May I remind you the MS https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/12/06/microsoft-edge-making-the-web-better-through-more-open-source-collaboration/ to "improve compatibility with other Chromium-based browsers" and content so users would be able to use a single browser MS Edge for any task, also https://mybuild.techcommunity.microsoft.com/speaker/552697?source=sessions at MS Build 2019.

As you know, Edge Chromium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2dm29djv3U 20-year old long abandoned by MS legacy apps to comply with enterprise customers wishes. While you strip consumers from modern apps still supported by Chromium with NO cutoff date. MS Edge is a Windows component. Consumers and extension devs pay for Windows just like enterprise customers do, and deserve the same respect and support. You're exposing MS to possible top legal challenges by subjecting https://www.statista.com/statistics/865413/most-popular-us-mapping-apps-ranked-by-audience/ Google Earth users such senseless discrimination.
What I suggest is offering PNACL plugin install on demand through Edge Store. I also think it deserves discussion with management as a matter of compliance with MS Policies and promises. Does it really require that much effort to allow consumers using all extensions from Chrome Store? While complaining on Twitter "Google may cut off Edge access to YouTube" etc... Aren't you do the same now with users and developers relying on PNACL extensions?
