Bad News for Windows 10, Chrome-like Edge Extensions Not Coming This Year

In the early reviews, Microsoft Edge showed lots of promise but it lacked an important aspect: Microsoft Edge Extensions.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was rumored that Microsoft will be releasing the Microsoft Edge Extensions in the Windows 10 Threshold 2 update. But according to the latest media reports, Microsoft needs more time to develop extension support in Microsoft Edge.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The technology company has issued an official statement that tells us more about the delayed Microsoft Edge Extensions in Windows 10:</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"We’re committed to providing customers with a personalized web experience, which is why bringing extensions to Microsoft Edge continues to be a high priority.

The developers who build extensions using common Web technologies like JavaScrip and HTML, will be able to work with Microsoft Edge with little or no code changes.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This news of the delay in Microsoft Edge is disappointing as the adoption rate of Microsoft has been disappointing in the recent times. Instead of being a neat-looking and fast web browser, people have been hesitating to make it their default web browser. This reluctance could be solely attributed to the lack of extensions.</span></div> </div>
