Description: I would like to request that the Kiwi Browser team add support for Microsoft Edge extensions. This would allow users to install and use extensions from the Microsoft Edge store, expanding the browser's functionality and providing a more comprehensive browsing experience.
Use Case: As a Kiwi Browser user, I often find myself needing to use specific extensions that are only available on the Microsoft Edge store. By adding support for Edge extensions, I would be able to access these extensions directly within Kiwi Browser, without having to use a different browser or workarounds.
Expected Behavior: When Edge extension support is added, I expect to be able to:
Browse and install Edge extensions from the Microsoft Edge store (preferably without having to switch to Desktop mode, if possible).
Use installed extensions within Kiwi Browser with the same functionality as they have on Microsoft Edge, similar to Chrome extensions.
Manage and configure installed extensions within Kiwi Browser's extensions menu, with an additional button to visit the Microsoft Edge Add-on store.
Benefits: Adding Edge extension support would:
Expand the ecosystem of available extensions for Kiwi Browser users.
Provide a more comprehensive browsing experience, with access to a wider range of tools and features.
Enhance the overall competitiveness of Kiwi Browser, making it a more attractive option for users who rely on specific extensions.
Additional Context: Microsoft Edge extensions are built using the Chromium extension framework, which is also used by Kiwi Browser. This means that Edge extensions may already have a high chance of compatibility with Kiwi Browser. Adding support for them could be a relatively straightforward process, similar to how many browsers (e.g., Lemur, Mask Browser) have successfully done so.
Your suggestion is appreciated but in case you are looking for;
Microsoft Edge Canary (Android) now let's you use Extension from Microsoft Store and also allows side loading (.crx)
