Microsoft Working on Tool to Port Chrome Extensions to Edge

Posted by msmash on from the browsers-getting-better dept.

Earlier this week, Microsoft released a new Windows 10 build for Insiders that, among other things, brings support for extensions to Microsoft Edge. There aren't many extensions to play with currently, but a Microsoft engineer says the company is working on a tool to allow developers to bring their Chrome extensions to its store. "Lots of questions on this," tweeted Jacob Rossi. "Yes we're working on a porting tool to run Chrome extensions in Edge. Not yet finished and not all APIs supported."

    Having upgraded about three quarters of our office to Windows 10, I've found Edge to be a very flaky browser. I'm getting a good many remote procedure failed errors, with baffles me greatly. Thus far, I'm not terribly impressed with the browser's stability, and many users have just switched over to Chrome or Firefox, or keep using IE.
