Microsoft Edge Addons: The 5 Best Extensions

There are currently only a few official extensions for Microsoft Edge in the Windows Store. However, we still present 5 helpful addons with which you can sensibly expand the functions of your browser.

1. Edge extension: Save to Pocket

If you do not always have the time to read interesting articles immediately or watch videos, you can use Pocket to save the content clearly for later.

• The extension adds a button to the browser menu at the top right at the three dots. You can use this to save any online content.
• Pocket can then be synchronized with different devices. So you always have the latest content with you on the go and can read it later on your PC at home.
• All elements can also be saved in self-created categories.

2. Edge extension: AdBlock

The free AdBlock extension frees you from annoying advertising on websites.

• If desired, you can block all ads by default with the extension - whether videos, cliparts or text advertising.
• Alternatively, enter websites on the whitelist so that you can continue to see advertisements there.
• Incidentally, in order to support the website operator, unobtrusive ads are not blocked.
• With a button that you can show next to the address bar, AdBlock can be easily paused on any website.

3. Edge extension: Office Online

If you want to work flexibly with Microsoft Office on the go, this addon is a must.

• With Office Online, you can create, view and edit documents from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Sway in the browser.
• All functions from the respective program are available. So the addon is practically a mobile version of the office suite.
• By the way: Office Online can access all data that you have saved on OneDrive and OneDrive for Business.

4. Edge extension: Translator for Microsoft Edge

With Translator For Microsoft Edge you can translate entire web pages or text extracts into over 50 languages.

• If you visit a foreign-language website, an icon appears in the address bar. If you click on the symbol, the page will be translated into your preferred language.
• Alternatively, select individual text passages with the mouse and then right-click on them to call up the translation.

5. Edge extension: Reddit Enhancement Suite

Reddit Enhancement Suite offers you a large number of interesting functions.

• For example, you can create your own filters for subreddits and thus block content that is not of interest to you.
• With this extension you can also open images and videos directly on the page without having to visit the link.
• If you have different Reddit accounts, you can also switch between these accounts. Interesting threads can also be subscribed to with Reddit Enhancement Suite.
