Issue 5315 - Add support for Microsoft Edge

ext/popup.js

 "use strict";
 
 (function()
 {
+  if (typeof chrome == "undefined" || typeof chrome.extension == "undefined")
+    window.chrome = browser;
   const backgroundPage = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage();
   window.ext = Object.create(backgroundPage.ext);
 
   window.ext.closePopup = () =>
   {
     window.close();
   };
 
+  // Edge needs the i18n to be local, otherwise it can't process substitutions

How about this? "Calling i18n from the background page causes Edge to throw an
exception. LINK"

Rephrased to be more precise. Calling i18n alone does not throw...

"Calling i18n.getMessage from the background page causes Edge to throw an
exception."?

It seems like your latest improvement to this comment isn't included in the
patch set?

+  // https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/12793975/
+  window.ext.i18n = chrome.i18n;
+
   // We have to override ext.backgroundPage, because in order
   // to send messages the local "chrome" namespace must be used.
   window.ext.backgroundPage = {
     sendMessage: chrome.runtime.sendMessage,
 
     getWindow()
     {
       return backgroundPage;
     }
   };
 }());
