Simply hit the ‘Allow extensions from other stores’ button and you’re all set. When you go to the Chrome Web Store a message will appear in Microsoft Edge telling you that you can add extensions from other stores. There is only one additional step the first time you try it. Many of the extensions found in the Chrome Web Store are also found in Microsoft’s own extension catalog, but the flexibility exists to go to Google if something you’re hunting for is missing.Įxtensions from the Chrome Web Store are installed in the same way in Microsoft Edge as in Google Chrome. This means that in Microsoft Edge you have access to the largest possible repository of extensions to enhance your browser.

Microsoft has its own collection of extensions for Microsoft Edge (opens in new tab) but because the browser is built on Chromium, Google Chrome extensions work too. (Image credit: Shutterstock) Google Chrome extensions in Microsoft Edge
