Edge Canary: Add Extension From Microsoft Store

Microsoft have recently announced they are ditching the current version of their Edge browser in favour of a Chromium based browser. In this series, I am going to take a look at the Canary version of this new browser.

Being based on Chromium, the new Microsoft Edge includes the extension architecture. Microsoft have created their own Store for extensions.

To add extensions to Edge, click on the ellipsis button and select Extensions:

Click the Microsoft Store link:

At present there is no search facility in the Store so you’ll need to manually look through the store for the extensions you need:

When you’ve found an extension you want, click the Get button:

Confirm you want to add the extension (review the functionality) and click Add extension:

A confirmation dialog will be displayed; close the using the cross:

You can repeat this process for any other extensions you want to install.
