Support for offline Google Docs
We are longer-term Chrome users but we recently tried Chromium Edge dev. It's life-changing! Just to mention 1 quality: it's amazing how fast Edge is compared to Chrome.
However, there is one really important thing that keeps us from switching to Edge: the possibility to use Google docs offline.
There is this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-docs-offline/ghbmnnjooekpmoecnnnilnnbdlolhkhi that allows users to use all their google docs offline. We installed it on Edge but it's not working. Please, please, please, find a way for us to use google docs offline on Edge, we want so much to switch to Edge!
Have you tried the instructions at https://habr.com/en/post/493276/ ? It appears the Google extension to use Docs etc offline only wants to work in Google Chrome, but just checks the User-Agent, so if you set up a user-agent switching extension in Edge to report itself as Google Chrome when connecting to docs.google.com etc it should then let the extension to work offline work.
