👉 Set Chrome as default browser (also for Outlook) on Windows 11
Windows 10 includes the new Microsoft Edge, the new default web browser that replaces Internet Explorer and prepares the operating system for the future of the web. However, the browser is currently missing some features that may deter some users from making the switch.
One of those missing features is extension support, which Microsoft says will come "later this year." However, according to WinBeta, the software maker does not plan to add any more features to the upcoming Windows 10 Threshold 2 update, which is due out in late November.
While the latest preview of the operating system shows a number of improvements and a tab preview for Microsoft Edge, extensions are not yet visible. Additionally, since Microsoft has not provided any further details and has not asked developers to port their extensions over to Edge, the short time until Threshold 2's release simply doesn't give the company enough time to include extensions in the next update.
