Description: I would like to request that the Kiwi Browser development team add support for installing extensions from custom stores other than Google Chrome's Web Store. This would allow users to install and use extensions from various sources directly (preferably without having to switch to desktop mode, if possible), expanding the ecosystem of directly installable extensions for Kiwi Browser users without having to enable Developer Mode to load locally downloaded extension files.
Expected Behavior: When support for installing extensions from custom stores is added, I expect to be able to browse and install extensions from custom stores like Microsoft Edge Add-ons for example, and customize the extension stores list in the installation sources within the Extensions menu.
Additional Context: Microsoft Edge extensions are built using the Chromium extension framework, which is also used by Kiwi Browser. I was able to successfully install and use Edge extensions from locally downloaded files, which means that Edge extensions are already compatible with Kiwi Browser. However, I still can't install them directly from the Edge Add-ons store due to some incompatibility issue perceived by the website that results in disabling the "Get" installation button and viewing this message whenever I select any extension:

Your suggestion is appreciated but in case you are looking for; Microsoft Edge Canary (Android) now let's you use Extension from Microsoft Store and also allows side loading (.crx)
Thank you for this information, I didn't know this before. But as far as I'm aware, the canary version of Microsoft Edge is not stable and can have more bugs. Add to this the fact that Microsoft Edge is not open source.
