Microsoft Edge web browser for Android devices would get support for extensions, according to a news report on 9to5Google. It essentially means Android users would be able to install add-on extensions for specific tasks on the Edge browser, similar to the desktop version.<\/p>\n
According to 9to5Google, the feature is in its early phase, hidden behind a flag in Edge version 123. Extensions will be available for beta testing in the later half of February, with a public roll-out expected next month.<\/p>\n
In a related post, analyst Lance Adams on X points out that multiple extensions such as \u201cDark Reader,\u201d \u201cGlobal Speed,\u201d and \u201cuBlock Origin\u201d are already available on a page named \u201cExtensions Beta\u201d on the Edge browser app. The page can be accessed by typing in edge:\/\/extensions\/ into the address bar. When enabled, a new \u201cExtensions\u201d section appears in the Browser\u2019s overflow menu. <\/p>\n
Last month, Microsoft rolled out a major Edge browser update for smartphones with more AI-powered Copilot features. Available on both iOS and Android apps for the browser, the updated Edge gets plugin support for AI-assistant Copilot, similar to the desktop version. Copilot for Edge on smartphones can also summarise YouTube videos playing on the browser that have transcripts or subtitles.<\/p>\n
Microsoft also rolled-out a separate mobile app for Copilot on both Android and iOS platforms. The app allows users to access OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4 model and DALL-E 3 in a free tier for text responses and image generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
