microsoft edge Extension Toolkit: Το νέο Windows 10 Anniversary Update διέθεσε για πρώτη φορά σε αυτούς που δεν ήταν εγγεγραμμένοι στο πρόγραμμα Windows Insider, την υποστήριξη για extensions in the Microsoft Edge browser. But the number of add-ons available is very small.
According to company, Microsoft Edge will be able to work with add-ons of other browsers as long as a developer deals with the small changes needed to make the port.
So since developers don't seem to be so keen, the company has decided to release a tool through the Windows Store that allows them to quickly convert Google extensions Chrome in Microsoft Edge extensions.
The tool is called the Microsoft Edge Extension Toolkit, and it is already available for download through the Windows Store.
Microsoft aims to develop ways that will allow the transport of Google Chrome extensions aside with little to no tweaking at all and this new app lends developers a hand in that regard.
At this time, the app is still in its first steps and it is obvious that updates are needed. But it shows Microsoft's plans to make it easy to convert Google Chrome extensions to work on Edge.
