Extensions would be pure JavaScript, built on a common API, so it would be possible for developers to create extensions that could be installed in any current browser with minor code changes. (As an example, the extraordinarily popular uBlock Origin blocker add on for Firefox was also available for Chrome and original Edge.
Go the the Chrome store and see if stuff will install in Chromium Edge. I don't expect a fix for your Chrome problems to happen right away, and Chromium based Edge might be what you can use till you get a fix for whatever is giving Chrome indigestion.

Bless you, Dennis. Truly.
My
penchant for troubleshooting this type of stuff has faded and paled, as I've lost most of my so-called "spare time." Warning, mostly-unrelated rant follows in the Spoiler, feel free to ignore,
I'm venting:
Spoiler:
I had something like this, around not having time, happen...not exactly, but, with PhraseExpress. As it turns out, even though it will do EVERYTHING that I want it to do, you have to bloody program it, in a way that PEX understands. it's one of those applications that's "well, yes, it will do that! [IF you already know how, and there's s**t for documentation on it].
The other users seem to think it's funny, that I don't know how to program the damned thing. You know, "all good lads together" and all that. One forum poster said to me, "programming's not for sissies" and so help me GOD, he should be glad he wasn't within striking distance of me when he said it. Quite literally, and yes, I know, this isn't PC, I would have punched him right in the mouth. Jackass. The entire documentation, on the functionality I was seeking, was two lines long, basically saying "yes this exists."
It's sold as a bloody app for BUSINESSES and I don't see a goddamned thing funny about it. I don't have time to spend 10-20 hours learning their macro/programming language to make it behave. Infuriating. And their attitude, that I should already know how to do it? Well, crap, then why not say on the website that if you can't already program it, don't buy it? I mean, you guys know me; I'd love to get into it, figure it out; but I don't have that kind of time these days and more importantly, that isn't hinted at ANYWHERE pre-sale.
So, even
thinking about spending the hours needed, to troubleshoot Chrome...oy.
I can't even, as the kids say.
I shall sally forth and see if I can make Chromium Edge my...well, you know, slave. I do, truly, appreciate it.
