Microsoft continues to make significant strides in elevating the Android version of its Edge browser, and a notable upcoming addition is the integration of support for extensions. The most recent browser update showcases advancements in Microsoft’s artificial intelligence, Copilot, enabling direct analysis and generation of images within the Android version. This is part of an ongoing commitment to constant improvement, positioning Edge for Android as a robust and feature-rich mobile browser.
A Twitter user, identified as @Leopeva64, recently uncovered this upcoming extension support in Edge for Android and generously shared screenshots of the discovery. With the inclusion of extension support, Edge for Android aligns itself with its desktop counterpart, presenting a formidable option alongside Firefox in the mobile browser arena. Notably, Chrome, a prominent competitor, currently lacks support for extensions in its mobile version.

The extension support in Edge for Android is currently limited to the developmental version, specifically Edge Canary, accessible through the Google Play Store. Users can activate this feature by navigating through a series of steps within the browser’s experimental features menu. It’s essential to bear in mind that Edge Canary itself is a developmental version, and activating experimental features may impact the browser’s stability.
