Microsoft has added the ‘Extensions Toolbar Menu’ feature in the Google Chrome browser to the new Microsoft Edge in the Canary version.
Recently, Google started rolling out new Extensions Menu to Chrome browser.
The puzzle piece icon on the browser toolbar when clicked lists all extensions and shows data access the extensions have on the current page.
Like before, users can pin each extension to the toolbar.
The menu offers options to visit the extension page on Chrome Web Store and allows you to remove the extension.
The feature now has been integrated and auto-enabled in Edge Canary 85.0.556.0.
