Is there a possibility for android chromium edge to support extension?
hktrader Thanks for sharing that feedback, and we're glad to hear that you're enjoying the new MS Edge! To confirm, is there a specific extension that you are looking to see/would use most, or are you just asking for all (or most) desktop-compatible extensions to also be available on mobile?

I'm not the OP but I'm sure I can speak for him: as a user of Kiwi Browser (also based on Chromium), I'm pretty sure the extensions folks are most seeking are uBlock Origin, Tampermonkey and Dark Reader. Adding extension support to Android Edge would definitely be a game changer, and the final step in ditching Chrome for a lot of users who switched to Edge from Google's browser, including myself. Mozilla Firefox for Android also has extension support.
I know users who wish extensions support are the minority, but if a bunch of guys in their spare time made an Android browser with extension support, I'm sure it won't be too hard for professional developers to implement this feature in Android Edge. I believe that luring users to Android Edge would most likely make them use desktop Edge as well.
vista_fan89 Absolutely agree. Extension support will be the last straw for most of the chrome user to switch to new edge. Again, the support is technically feasible and looking forward by many of the original chrome user including me! Frankly speaking, new edge must have differentiation with chrome, or otherwise, the switching cost for user is huge and they won't buy just because of saying new edge is faster, easier and secure.
