Open in MS Edge™ Extension

You can send HTML links to Microsoft's Edge browser with a single click. The extension includes a browser action button that, when activated, sends the URL from the active tab to the Edge browser. Optionally, you can instruct the extension to close the tab once the URL transfer is complete. It's important to note that, like similar extensions, this one requires a native component (macOS, Windows, and Linux) for communication with the external browser.

Additionally, the extension enhances your productivity by adding a context menu option for links, allowing you to send them to the Edge browser with a simple right-click. To configure the extension to your needs, head to the options page and specify which hostnames should open in the Edge browser.

Since the extension use a native component, it can initiate a new instance if it detects no open Edge windows. This component has a built-in tool to help you locate the Edge executable.

The extension provides several context menu items within the browser action button, enabling you to send all tabs within the current window or across all windows to the Edge browser. Also, it has two context menu items for link and text selection. It will extract links from selection area and open links in the Edge browser.

ARatQuiRit (ID: 000000fe0d1c9334) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/17/2022 Good, works well, and as expected. Saldy, I couldn't find any option to remove it from the context menu, and this is a deal breaker for me, because I don't like to overload it, as it already has enought stuff in it… So I'll go with another addon.

András Balkányi (ID: 000000e9bbd5b283) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/16/2022 Why I like it: - It works with right click on a link so you do not need to open the page first and then press a button. - It can extract the link from the selected text. Just right click and select Extract and Open Text Links in Microsoft Edge.
