I don't know if Edge supports MV2, but they do have uBlock available and it works just as well as on Firefox.

It may look like it works "just as well" but that's not true. There are numerous things that impact performance and effectiveness that are not possible with chromium-based browsers, or at least have to be done inefficiently, including

* pre-fetching

* html filtering

* use of WebAssembly

* data compression and private/incognito mode

Edge has its own extension API in addition to the Chromium one, it's possible that they've managed to mitigate or eliminate these problems.
