It was stuck at just over 10 or so for a long time. It seems only a few months ago that there still weren’t any Edge extensions worth mentioning and the number never seemed to grow in the early days. The problem was, there was such a tiny collection of extensions it wasn’t worth bothering with. It took a whole year after Edge launched for Microsoft to add support for extensions and the feature was included in the Anniversary Update. It isn’t quite time to give up Chrome just yet, but Microsoft is continuing to improve the browser it bundles with Windows and it is now getting increasing support from extension developers. This alone was reason enough for many Chrome and Firefox users to ignore Edge.

For a start, it did not support extensions. When Windows 10 launched and people looked at the new Edge browser, it didn’t have much to offer compared to Chrome, or even Firefox.
