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.
