Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I can’t find options to manage and remove addons in Microsoft Edge. It is supposed to have this feature. but I can’t find the options for it. Any ideas?” – Gregory R., USA
Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:
- Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
- Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
- Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.
Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.
Wally’s Answer: Microsoft Edge is the default web browser in Windows 10. Its cliche usage is to download other web browsers. However, Edge still holds a significant market share.
Edge browser may not be as popular as some other web browser. This is usually because of a lack of browser extensions (Add-Ons) in Microsoft Edge. Here, we will look at where to find browser extensions for Microsoft Edge and how to change their settings.

Select an extension you like, and click Get to install it.
Some extensions may be paid. In this case, the price will be written with the extension’s name. You should be able to use it once the extension is automatically downloaded and installed. Click Turn on if a notification appears.

I always recommend to my readers to regularly use a trusted registry cleaner and optimizer such as WinThruster or CCleaner. Many problems that you encounter can be attributed to a corrupt and bloated registry.
