## TL;DR
@ -51,7 +51,7 @@ You can download this extension from Firefox' and Chrome's extension stores:

This extension also has a version for Microsoft Edge, but that requires a bit more effort. [See notes first](#edge-speficic-limitations-important).
Opera users and users of the new, Chromium-based Edge can install Ultrawidify from Chrome Web Store as well.

# Edge-specific limitations (IMPORTANT!)
# Microsoft Edge
For various reasons — most notably, I refuse to pay Microsoft €14 for the privilege of developing shit for their outright broken browser (and in addition to that, the extension needs to go through review process as well) — this extension isn't going to appear on Microsoft Store. (And I do not permit anyone else to do that in my name either). Full rant on why I've made this decision can be found [here](https://github.com/xternal7/ultrawidify/issues/14#issuecomment-424903335).
With the advent of the new Chromium-based Edge, this extension should work just fine. I don't actively test in Edge, though, so your mileage may vary.
As a result, you'll have to download the extension and install it manually. This approach has some downsides.
## Chromium-based
1. You'll get this popup after starting Edge. If you've already opened Youtube or Netflix, **you will have to reload the page (or navigate to somewhere else) in order for extension to start.**

1. Visit [edge://extensions](edge://extensions/)
2. Go to [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ultrawidify/dndehlekllfkaijdlokmmicgnlanfjbi)
3. Click 'Allow extensions from other stores' on the blue popup bar at the top of the screen
4. Install Ultrawidify
5. Enjoy
2. Certain WebExtension APIs that I rely on are outright broken in Edge. This bug would cause global extension settings (tab: Extension settings) and per-site settings (tab: Site settings) to reset to default values every time you'd open the popup. As a result, _Extension settings_ and _Site settings_ tabs are disabled in Edge:

Unfortunate consequence of this is that you won't be able to enable this extension for sites other than Youtube and Netflix, but then again. Let's be honest. You're only using Edge for Netflix, so that's probably no big deal for you.
I might reconsider publishing extension for Chromium-based Microsoft Edge once it's released. Releasing in MS Store appears to be impossible at current time as extension submissions don't appear to be open at all (unless you got a special invite or something).
**It's also worth noting that I'm not actively maintaining the Edge fork, so it's a few versions behind.**

3. Follow the steps in [this guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions/guides/adding-and-removing-extensions)
1. Get [Chromium-based Edge](https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/)
