The best Instagram add-ons for Microsoft Edge

Instagram is a phenomenal social media platform, but sometimes you need a few more features than what it provides. Need posting capabilities on your desktop? How about the ability to consolidate direct messages on Instagram with other social media platforms? We cover some of the best add-ons for Microsoft Edge so you can interact with people on Instagram with more ease.

Add-ons for a better desktop experience

Many individuals and businesses use social media on their desktops for a variety of reasons, and Microsoft Edge Add-ons. The following desktop add-ons are just a few ways to improve your user-experience in different ways.

• Web for Instagram. One of the most practical add-ons, this option provides you with a user-friendly layout for your desktop, posting and direct messaging capabilities, the ability to open and download photos and videos in full HD, and other methods to do pretty much everything you can do on the mobile app.
