Microsoft Edge to phase out support for older ad-blocking extensions like Chrome

Microsoft is starting the process of ending support for Manifest V2 extensions in its Edge browser.

Microsoft said only 58 MV2 extensions have meaningful use in the Edge add-ons store, and just three are not available on MV3.
