Google seeks to prevent users from downloading extensions to use in microsoft edge

The new Microsoft Edge is advancing steadily in the market. Based on Chromium, this browser allows you to use extensions like in Google Chrome. Something that Google sees as a danger, so they seek to persuade users to install extensions in the Microsoft browser. They have put warnings saying that it is advisable not to.

Google seeks to prevent users from downloading extensions to use in Microsoft Edge

The normal thing would be to think that this is because such extensions would not work well. Although the truth is that there are no operating problems in the new browser.

Strategy against Edge

Since it is surprising that such notice is made only for Microsoft Edge, while other browsers that are based on Chromium as well, as with Brave, do not receive such notices. So some question the reasons why Google seeks to warn about the installation of extensions in Microsoft's browser. They see it more as a strategy against the new browser.

What has happened in recent weeks is that fraudulent extensions have been gaining presence. Many more cases have been reported, but we do not know if this is something related and seeking to warn of it, it does not give the feeling.

In principle, users using Chromium-based Microsoft Edge will be able to use Chrome extensions without problems. No compatibility problems have been detected, so you should not have any impediment in this regard. A somewhat strange strategy by Google, which is not fully understood, so we expect some additional explanation.
