The "Open in MS Edge™ Browser" Chrome extension enables users to effortlessly open their current tab, selected links, or even all browser tabs directly in the Microsoft Edge™ browser. By right-clicking or using specific click combinations, links can be instantly sent to Edge without the hassle of copying and pasting URLs.

If Microsoft Edge is already running, the extension will open links in new tabs; otherwise, it launches a new Edge window. To function properly, a minimal native client installation is required, with step-by-step instructions provided within the extension. Additionally, administrators can configure preferences using managed storage, making it suitable for organizational use.

Note that this is an independent project and not affiliated with Microsoft or the Edge team. This extension significantly streamlines workflows for users who need quick access to Microsoft Edge from Chrome.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Open in MS Edge™ Browser requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Open in MS Edge™ Browser is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
