Uploaded Retro Web extension on Edge Store

 It all started when I was using Opera Mini on a Nokia feature phone and I liked the retro look of how the browser made websites look retro but the only problem with Opera Mini was the limits. You couldn't play videos or audios, websites wouldn't load because of the tiny amount of memory that the feature phone has and most annoying is the data provider with block 75% of website links because Opera Mini would send the site to Opera's server to simplify the site and the data provider? Just thought it was supiciois and blocked it. So that was when I started designing an extension to make the web like the 90s...

I started with the manifest (The code which descrbes the extension like name, description and version) which was the easiest part and then got the extension working with 4 other codes (HTML, x2 JavaScript and CSS) And jsut like that it was working perfectly and now, it is available on my GitHub to download. But since the extension was for Chromium-based browsers, it would make perfect sense to upload there so anyone one on any chromium browser can  get it easily but I was willing to get this done for free.. but you were required to pay $5 to register so after some research, I found out I could get it on the Edge store for free! And now i have uploaded it On the Edge Store. Now for those who don't use Edge, feel free to get it from my  GitHub for free and ejoy the retro madness.
