If you are a Windows user and Chrome fan, then this news definitely for you. Software giant Microsoft is planning to offer Chrome extension in Microsoft Edge, the new browser on the PC version of Windows 10.
The company will offer three extensions on Edge browser in the initial stage, including Microsoft Translator, Reddit extension, and Mouse Gestures and later on LastPass, Adblock, Adblock Plus, Amazon, Evernote, and more to come as Edge extensions. Each one of the extension can be manually installed.
Jabob Rossi, an engineer at Microsoft Edge team with a series of tweets confirms the development and previews of extensions are available on Windows blog.
