Back in 2020, we committed to Manifest Version 3 (MV3) as the future direction of the Chromium extensions platform. Since then, we've worked with developer

Over the next few months, MV2 extensions will be gradually turned off by default. Users will be notified in advance and directed to recommended MV3 versions where available.

These changes will start in the Canary, Dev, and Beta channels and gradually broaden to Stable in the following months, with the goal of completing the consumer transition by the end of 2026. Managed devices will not be affected during the consumer rollout. Enterprise deprecation will follow in early 2027.

    To put some numbers around the progress the ecosystem has made, there are only 58 MV2-based extensions in the Edge Add-on Store with any meaningful usage.

    My guess: one of them is uBlock Origin, and that is all that counts. Well, as wise people wrote elsewhere, Edge’s purpose is to download Firefox or LibreWolf.
