How to Add or Remove Extensions in Microsoft Edge in Windows 10


Microsoft Edge is a new web browser that is available across the Windows 10 device family. It is designed for Windows 10 to be faster, safer, and compatible with the modern Web.

Personalize and add new features to Microsoft Edge with extensions. Starting with Windows 10 build 14291, a selection of extensions is now available for Microsoft Edge on the PC.

When fully released to mainstream builds of Windows 10, extensions will be available via the Windows Store. Until that time, you can help us test extensions by downloading and adding them to Microsoft Edge using the steps shown below. You can try out the Mouse Gestures, Microsoft Translator and Reddit Enhancement Suite extensions today with more on the way.

Starting with Windows 10 build 17074, you can now grant individual extensions permission to run in InPrivate from the options menu for the extension. Microsoft is working with extension developers to enable more features when InPrivate.
