Microsoft Edge for Android is getting support for extensions

Microsoft Edge for Android is getting support for extensions

If you figured out how to use good extensions, you're probably on firefox anyways. The chrome extensions suck ass. Wtf is this privacy reader thing use Dark Background and Light Text. Most of them use adblock pro or something and not ublock. Chrome doesn't even have good vertical tab extensions.

  Firefox for Android does not support extension that modify the GUI.
  
  Sadly, because tab management sucks ass in Android for Firefox... (A trade for using the best sane browser I guess ¯(ツ)/¯)

Neat that its getting extensions but not a huge fan of edge.

Who cares. If you have a shred of privacy awareness, you'd steer very clear from it.

It's nice to see another Android browser follow Mozilla's steps and implement extensions. Though I strongly doubt Google is ever going to follow. Chrome not having extensions (or an ad blocker, at minimum with history and bookmark synchronization) on mobile is the main reason I don't use it anywhere.

Can there please just be a no B.S. Android Chromium Variant with Extension support.

Wtf.. things we never asked for
- Personally, I've been asking for this for years. Very excited to see this mostly for ublock origin. But there are a few other extensions I use daily that I'd like to have available.
  
  Why use Edge tho? If you want a browser on Android with extensions, just use Firefox. In my humble opinion: M$ anything should be avoided (unless there are specific benefits or features).

  I think they're called extensions because they are an extension of what the original product, intended?
  Feel free to correct my confusion .
