Some extensions don't work on Android Edge Canary when returning to the app
I am using Edge Canary and have installed several extensions through the developer options, but some of the extensions are not working when I resume from the background.
The extensions that don't work seem to be automatically disabled internally, so I can disable them from the extension options and then re-enable them to use them again. (However, in the latest Canary build, if this problem occurs, the app crashes when I try to open the extension options.)
This issue occurs with uBlock Origin, Stylus, etc., and probably occurs with the Manifest V2 extension.
This issue occurs on multiple devices and occurs even after reinstalling, so it is not device-dependent.
Yeah, this problem is apparent to me, too. It is very annoying, especially if you're installing a web-filter or a prenatal control extension like Qustodo or Plucky. The extensions are turned off, leaving the browser with no protection at all. Also, I want to add that I am using some Enterprise Policies to restrict usage of the browser and tried to force allow the extensions as a workaround. There is no force-allow-list for extensions in Edge Android (canary and others).
This is the Japanese post that mentions this bug.
It is assumed that this bug occurs when returning with onResume(), can it be confirmed?
