SingelFile does not work on Android Microsoft Edge at all

[NilsHoyer]

I've installed "Edge Canary" on my Android device. Inside the settings, "Information about Edge" I taped several times to the version information, until the "Developer" features are enabled.

Now, inside the Settings, there was a new entry at the bottom: "Developer options", which allows to "Install Extensions by Id". On this way, I installed SingleFile.

After this, nothing happens, if I select the SingleFile extension inside the Extension menu of Edge.

... indeed, I don't know if this is a problem of SingleFile or of Edge Canary, which is a preview with the new feature to use extension at all.

I didn't know Microsoft was working on extension support for Edge on Android. That's great news :).

I can confirm, however, that I'm reproducing the problem you described. I did a debugging session with the Android emulator on my machine. It seems that clicking on the SingleFile entry in Edge doesn't trigger the corresponding code which is an unexpected behavior. Maybe it's a temporary bug in Edge.

... or Microsoft don't know about this issue and would be happy if you report it?

I can't say with 100% certainty that the bug is in Edge. For that, I'd have to code a test extension isolating the bug.

Edit: In fact, there's no point, they don't have a public bug tracker, unlike Google, Mozilla and Apple.
