Microsoft Edge is already great for browsing the web, but now extensions help you do even more. Extensions are small programs that add features to your browser.
Extensions can:
Give you new ways to interact with the browser. For example, the Mouse Gestures extension lets you navigate the web with a right-click and a flick of the mouse.
Work quietly in the background. This includes extensions to block most ads from appearing.
Add buttons to do more on a particular page. With this sort of extension, you can add a button to translate a page, or share on social media sites.
Some buttons only appear when you can do something with them on that page. For example, you’ll only see the Translator button when you visit a page written in another language.
Find and add extensions
To find extensions and add them to your browser, select Microsoft Edge on the Windows taskbar, then select Settings and more > Extensions. After you’ve installed an extension, follow the on-screen instructions to turn it on in Microsoft Edge.
Keep your extensions front and center
Select Settings and more > Extensions to see all your extensions. Use an extension often? To keep it handy, select (or right-click) the extension, and then select Show button next to the address bar.
