Installing extensions in Microsoft Edge involves accessing the official Edge Add-ons store through the browser's settings. This process allows you to browse and add functionality to your browser directly.
Steps to Install Extensions from the Edge Add-ons Store
To add extensions to your Microsoft Edge browser, follow these straightforward steps:
- Open Microsoft Edge.
- Select Extensions, which you can typically find located to the right of your browser address bar.
- Note: If you do not see Extensions readily available to the right of your browser address bar, you can access it by selecting Settings and more (represented by three dots), then navigating to Extensions.
- Once you are on the Extensions page, select Get Extensions for Microsoft Edge. This action will open the official Microsoft Edge Add-ons website.
- On the Microsoft Edge Add-ons page, browse or search to find the extension you'd like to add.
- After finding the desired extension, select Get.
- A prompt may appear asking for permissions the extension requires. Review these permissions carefully.
- If you agree to the permissions, select Add extension to complete the installation.
The extension will then be installed and typically enabled by default, appearing as an icon or option in your browser interface.
By following these steps, you can effectively install extensions manually from the official source provided by Microsoft Edge, enhancing your browsing experience with various tools and features.
