Currently, 22 extensions are available to install, and more extensions will be added soon to the Extension Store. As the extensions are officially being offered on Microsoft’s browser, they are safe to install and use.

Excellent news, hope extension support will come in IOS.

Interesting point: They credit Kiwi Browser for the Extension support. So a part of Kiwi is going to live in Edge.

It's not that Google can't add ability to run extensions in Chrome for Android. It's just they simply don't want to add it. Why? That's question for them.

We all know why. First thing everybody will install is adblock and Google makes their bread and butter from ads.

I always knew that sooner or later, ad blocks would be limited more and more in Chrome until they disappear completely. Google Play Store doesn't allow them from the beginning.

Yes they forked kiwi code for the extension support and hopefully brave will follow

If you try to install extensions from the Microsoft webstore for Android it says that the extensions are 'incompatible with your browser' even with the latest version of Edge

You can install them via Edge - What is new - Edge extensions.

I just learned this here. This is great I hope other browsers do this.

Kiwi offered extension support - since 2019, while the other "big boys (even corporate level devs)" - still don't have that for their Chromium based browser in 2025 (6 years latter). Main reason for that is clear/obvious - especially for google: to prevent the installation of an adblocker - while using their browser. At least Brave had its own.

Firefox jumped the extension train a bit sooner (November 2023).

Hi. I was interested in the "bypass paywall clean" extension. As far as I understand, it was removed on demand from all sites. There are some clones on GitHub with a small number of stars. I don't trust these clones. Can you please tell me where you downloaded this extension?
