Support for offline Google Docs
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.
07_19 Glad to hear you are enjoying Microsoft Edge. I'm unable to get Google Docs offline extension to work either. I will provide feedback to engineers about supporting Google Docs offline.

DavidGB That's super! Thanks a lot!
Just a note: for step 4, open Google drive, clear on the gear, then follow the step 4 image
I'll also just add that that same user agent switcher extension recommended in that post is also available from the Microsoft Edge App store, and it's easy to set it so it only spoofs the Google Chrome user Agent on Google sites like the Google Drive etc sites (open settings, switch to whitelist mode and enter google.com in the whitelist box) but reports you as Edge everywhere else.
