I use Firefox, but I'll point out that MS Edge has its own extension store that isn't run by Google. Google can make things as slow as they like in their store and it won't affect Microsoft unless Microsoft goes along with it.
- dboreham 3y agoMS pulls other crap though such as conveniently disabling the extension you need to install to prevent their ADD-inducing news-page from being displayed on every new tab.
- davesmylie 3y agoI could be mistaken here, but as far as I know Microsoft Edge is still based on chromium. Yup, they may still allow extension updates without going through review, but they'll still have to either fork or go along with manifest v3.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoThat doesn't matter. Both browsers will have Manifest v3 but Chrome will take much longer to approve extensions in the Chrome web store.
- insin 3y agoWhen you submit an updated version to the Edge extension store they say they'll get back to you in 7 working days; sometimes it gets approved sooner than that, but they're usually not joking. If your extension requires frequent changes due to its target site(s) changing underneath it, the Edge version can end up being weeks behind. At least they do let you cancel pending versions and resubmit, unlike the Chrome web store where you're just stuck until the review is done.
