How to Use Extensions in Microsoft Edge Browser

August 3, 2016

The Windows 10 Anniversary update has rolled out bringing lots of feature enhancements that should make your Windows experience awesome. One of the tools that has received big feature enhancements is the Microsoft Edge browser, which now has the ability to work with extensions. Here is a quick handy guide to getting started with Microsoft Edge Extensions.

There are currently not many extensions available in the Store, (around 13 in all) but expect this to change once the Anniversary update goes live. You can learn more about the extensions by clicking the app icon and browsing through the description.

Each Extension’s home page lists the system requirements for using the extension along with its approximate size. You can also see the ratings information and comments from other users.
