As early as February this year, someone had already dug up the Android version Microsoft Edge The extension function is being tested. Although there are third-party browser apps in the Play Store that can install extension functions, the support is poor. Therefore, can Microsoft Edge bring a better mobile extension experience? It’s quite exciting.
The good news is that it is currently open to all users for testing. As long as you update to the latest version of Microsoft Edge, you can use the new extensions, but not many are open yet.
The Android version of Microsoft Edge is now open for testing extensions, teach you how to open them

The extensions of Microsoft Edge for Android can be used without logging in to a Microsoft account, so those who have not installed it before can click on the link above to get it, and then directly try the new extensions.

Just change the Android Extension 2 below, change Default to Enable, and then reopen the Microsoft Edge App. Enter the extended function again, and you will see four more, including immersive translation, I don’t care about cookies, Cooie-Editor, and Unhook:
These four hidden extensions are currently still under testing, so you may encounter stability problems, such as sudden crashes and invalid functions:
