The panel also displays a note saying “More coming soon. Stay tuned!”, which confirms Microsoft’s plans to expand the catalog further. Each extension includes a description, the developer’s name, ratings, and version details.

The update also adds a refreshed design for Copilot Composer, which now has simpler menus that make composing faster. A new Copilot Deep Research Export option lets users save research as a document, PDF, or even a podcast.

Edge now supports PDF annotation, so users can add notes directly within the browser instead of switching apps. Microsoft says the new version delivers a faster and more productive experience on iPad. The App Store changelog confirms extension support, and we have verified the rollout on iPad devices to confirm how it works in real use.

Microsoft’s decision to bring extension support to Apple’s platform is an important step, as it puts Edge closer to Safari’s iPad experience.

Apart from Safari and Edge, Orion Browser also supports extensions on iOS.

That’s not all. Edge has also added background playback for YouTube videos in its iOS beta version, which removes the need for a YouTube Premium subscription.
