Chrome for Android doesn't have extensions, but Edge now has a whole store

Microsoft edge's latest build version 134.0.3124.57, just added a whole new web-store for Android user unlike google. Extensions are great for adding a tiny bit of functionality to a browsing experience without dedicating an entire app to run in the background. For instance, some users like to use VPNs securely tied in from the browser itself rather than running the full-scale app.

I'll be sticking with Firefox, it has extensions and is not owned by an advertising company.

Thought it would be good to reply to all the subs-comments from the least useful comment.

I find it ironic that most of those defending edge's default ad infested config as ok because you can turn it off are likely the same people who'd lambast Firefox for having a lot less stuff turned on my default. I control everything in Firefox, no way anyone can say the say for edge, chrome or even safari.
