Windows 10: Microsoft Edge extensions postponed to 2016

If Microsoft Edge replace Internet Explorer advantageously, both in terms of opportunities, compatibility and speed, it remains a feature that users always regret: the management of the extensions. Long before the finalization of Windows 10, Microsoft had announced that its new browser would bear the modules of its competitors Firefox and Chrome. Yet, this function is still not operational. And he'll have to be even patient, because it seems that Microsoft has pushed back the 2016.

The website reports WinBeta indeed Edge that Microsoft will not support extension before the release of Windows 10 Redstone. For the record, this version of the operating system will provide an important update to the OS, much more consistent than Threshold 2 scheduled for November 2015. However, this update will not be available before 2016. WinBeta attempted to obtain more information on the topic, but did not get an answer as this: "We will integrate support for extensions in Microsoft Edge in a future update. Developers who create extensions for modern browsers, using current technologies like JavaScript or HTML, Microsoft will work on Edge with little or no code change. "

Meanwhile, the official page regarding Microsoft Edge extensions remain desperately empty. And if the delay is proved, it is the popularity of the browser already at the lowest, which may suffer. Microsoft's new browser is currently used by only 2.40% of Internet users, while Internet Explorer is about 49% and Chrome to nearly 30% (source: Netmarketshare.com).
