\nJust last week, Microsoft revealed that it would be shifting its Edge browser built into Windows 10 to run on Chromium. Now, it\u2019s been confirmed that, with this new version, Microsoft Edge will support Google Chrome extensions. At least, that\u2019s the idea anyway.
Chrome has a huge library of extensions already available, and that\u2019s great for users whenever this new browser launches. Of course, there\u2019s still no clear timeline for when that will happen.
In related news, Alden also confirmed that Windows will support both Chromium and EdgeHTML side-by-side to ensure that web-based apps (UWP, PWA) will continue to work properly. Just like Chrome, the new Chromium-based Edge will also support installing PWAs directly from the browser.
