Microsoft made a lot of big promises when it introduced Windows 10 last year, but its ability to follow through on them all has proved to be a bit of a mixed bag. Just last month, for instance, we received confirmation that the planned Project Astoria Android app support was dead – though the Windows Bridge for iOS would live on. Another bumpy spot for Windows 10 has emerged courtesy of the platform’s new Edge browser, and specifically its extension support.
The extension framework (including support for code initially developed for other browsers) sounded very promising, but the OS ultimately launched without it present. And while Microsoft once told us to look for Edge getting its extensions later in 2015, by fall it was clear that even that target would be missed, and extensions wouldn’t be ready until 2016. With the new year upon us, when can we expect to get them? According to at least one source, Edge extensions could arrive in the very next Insider release.
