Microsoft is working hard! Chrome extensions can be used directly in Edge browsers

Windows 10's new Edge browser has received a lot of praise, and we also know that it will support extensions this fall.

Mashable has already pointed out that Microsoft will ensure that extensions on Edge have strict permissions and can be uninstalled cleanly to ensure that they do not drag down overall performance. Now Softpedia has brought another exciting news.

Edge project manager Drew DeBruyne said that when Project Spartan (the predecessor of the Edge browser) was originally released, Microsoft said it would be compatible with Google Chrome plug-ins.

In order to attract developers and lower the threshold, De Bruyne revealed that Microsoft hopes to enable Chrome plug-ins to be connected to Edge without any modification, that is, there is no need to make any adjustments or modifications to the plug-ins to get native support from Edge.

De Bruyne said: "We are doing a lot of work to make Edge natively support the same APIs as Chrome."

It is reported that Edge's extension support will be available to users in October, and the extension program will appear in the Windows built-in app store, which is very convenient.
