Final answer:
Adding Internet Explorer extensions to Edge is not directly possible because Edge is now Chromium-based, and old IE extensions are incompatible. Instead, you can enable IE Mode in Edge for website compatibility and install extensions from the Edge Add-ons store or the Chrome Web Store.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you're looking to add internet explorer extensions to Edge, it is important to note that Microsoft Edge is now based on the Chromium engine and supports extensions from the Chrome Web Store. Older Internet Explorer extensions are not natively compatible with Microsoft Edge. However, you can use the IE Mode feature in Edge to access websites that require Internet Explorer compatibility. To enable IE Mode on Edge, you will need to follow these steps:
- Open Microsoft Edge and click on the three-dot menu at the top right corner, then select 'Settings'.
- Navigate to the 'Default browser' section.
- Under Internet Explorer compatibility, select 'Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode.'
- You can then add websites to a list that Edge will automatically load in IE Mode.
For extensions, you can explore the Edge Add-ons store or the Chrome Web Store for alternatives that suit your needs. Remember, installing extensions from the Chrome Web Store requires you to allow extensions from other stores within the Edge Extensions settings.
