Instead of focusing on artificial intelligence filler, Microsoft Edge for Android is introducing browser extensions—functionality customers have been demanding for years. The days of accepting your phone's limited usefulness are long gone. Soon, you'll be able to use robust add-ons to personalize your Edge experience, just like you do on your desktop. The early indicators are encouraging. In the most recent Microsoft Edge Canary release, a hidden flag that opens an "extensions" page was found by Twitter detective @Leopeva64. Even well-known extensions like uBlock Origin, Global Speed, and Dark Reader have installation choices available. Although it's not the first to the party, Microsoft is undoubtedly offering something enjoyable to the masses. Android users may now use Firefox and Samsung Internet with extensions, but Edge may have a clear advantage. It might dethrone Chrome, which is now devoid of this feature totally if it follows Firefox's example and permits a broad variety of third-party extensions. But there's a little glitch. Extension support won't be arriving in iOS anytime soon due to Apple's limitations on iPhone apps. However, the Digital Markets Act may at least give European iPhone users a taste of Edge extensions. When will you be able to use Edge for Android to indulge your inner extension enthusiast? Although the precise date is still unknown, you can try to get a sneak peek by turning on the flag in Microsoft Edge Canary. Who knows, maybe Microsoft will take us by surprise by launching more widely earlier than anticipated. Microsoft Edge has made a big stride with this, which might make it a more appealing option for Android users. Edge is becoming a more functional and approachable mobile browser with upcoming extensions, eventually emerging from the shadow of AI-focused upgrades and into the domain of genuinely helpful features.
