Description

Since Edge 146.0.3856.59, edge://flags/#extensions-on-edge-urls no longer appears in edge://flags. The behavior still works via a command-line switch. Older installs that had it enabled retain the setting with no UI toggle to disable it, which seems like a bad thing.

Repro:

  1. Install Edge 146.0.3856.59+
  2. Search edge://flags for "extensions-on-edge-urls" - missing
  3. Launch with command-line switch - works

Questions:
Is this removal intentional or a bug? Why this affects Android?

I maintain a niche WebRTC monitoring extension that depends on edge://webrtc-internals page access as an alternative data source. Only a minority of users affected, but still wanna know whats going on since there is no mention of it in the changelogs anywhere.
