Microsoft Edge browser extensions, also known as add-ons, improve your experience by incorporating new features and functions into your browser. Explore some of our favorite browser extensions for work, school, or fun.

OneNote Web Clipper

OneNote Web Clipper is a browser extension that lets you clip all or part of a web page and save it to OneNote. Access what you clipped from any device, even when you’re offline. Clips can include visual bookmarks of the page, images, pdfs, articles, recipes, or products without any distracting ads or backgrounds. You can also share what you’ve clipped with others if you’re collaborating on a project.

Microsoft Editor

Microsoft Editor is built into newer versions of Microsoft Edge, but you can also install it as a browser extension if it’s not already a part of your default browser. If you write anything on the web, like blogs, social media posts, emails, etc., Microsoft Editor will proofread your writing for any embarrassing mistakes before you press send. When you misspell or misuse a word or symbol, Editor will flag it so you can correct your mistake and improve your spelling and grammar skills. Editor also autocorrects obvious misspellings as you type and highlights those entries in green.

Xbox New Tab

The Xbox New Tab extension lets gamers stay connected to their Xbox while using their browser. Basically, Xbox New Tab is a hub for everything related to Xbox gaming. It grants you access to trending live streams, personalized wallpapers, quick links to Xbox content on social media and other sites, and notifications with the latest updates from Xbox and Xbox Game Pass. This extension sets Microsoft Edge as your default browser and links to your Microsoft Rewards account, so you get points when you redeem Xbox gift cards, buy Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, and search the web.

Microsoft Outlook

The Microsoft Outlook browser extension brings everything you enjoy about Microsoft Outlook to your browser. Compose an email or manage your calendar, contacts, or tasks using an icon in Microsoft Edge. You can quickly access your Outlook work account or your Outlook.com or Hotmail browser-based account without opening a new tab or switching to a different app. It’s the perfect extension for writing an email while referencing a web page or adding a task or event based on what you’re reading online. You can also use Outlook in the sidebar for even more convenience.
