Specifically, I used the Microsoft Rewards extension.
Install the extension from the Edge-Store using the Microsoft Edgeīrowser.
They're all free and easy to get rid of if you don't like them-just click the ellipsis menu in Edge ( ), go to Extensions, and right click the extension to either Turn Off or Uninstall.I was able to load an extension from the Microsoft Edge-Store into Google Chrome successfully using the following steps. Simply click the Get button on each entry to auto-install. Once the W3C's browser extension standard is out (date unknown), expect Edge extensions to increase.įor now, install these few excellent extensions by visiting the Windows Store (Opens in a new window) while you're in Windows 10. Which isn't surprising, as by all reports, Microsoft makes it pretty difficult for developers to even submit extensions. Many are from big-names-the kind of services that want to be available on every browser. That's not great, considering that Edge added extension support in March 2016. (This is the same problem Microsoft had with apps for its phones, and still has for apps in Windows 10-not enough developers care, and that keeps users away.)īut guess what? There are a few, just a few-44 as of this writing-extensions available for Microsoft's nimble little Edge. Who can blame us? When browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox support thousands of add-ons, it's hard to care about Edge. But we dinged it for, among other things, not having enough extensions.
It's certainly not PCMag's-our review only gave it 3.5 stars, despite it being fast, lightweight, simple, and full of extras like built-in support for Flash, PDFs, and ebooks. Sorry Microsoft, but Edge-the default web browser of Windows 10 is nobody's favorite.
