Microsoft Edge Chromium: How to add Chrome extensions
We've been talking about Spartan for a few months now, but today Neowin is releasing a bit more information about how Microsoft plans to integrate extensions into the browser and how it plans to get developers to write for the platform. According to the report, Spartan will implement extensions almost identically to Chrome, which technically means Chrome extensions could work on Spartan, or at least it will make the process very easy to create extensions for Spartan if the developer knows how to code for Chrome.
There is also confirmed evidence of how similar Spartan extensions are to Google Chrome. WrapMSBrowserExtensionPageAndBackground.js was discovered on Pastebin, a file created in Windows 10 that shows various similarities between both platforms.
If true, Microsoft's approach will make it very easy for developers to port or create new extensions for Spartan, as they will be able to port their Chrome extensions to a new browser without much effort and will have the knowledge needed to create extensions for Chrome that also work with Spartan.
