Description

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. --- Legal Disclaimer Please be aware that 'Edge' is a registered trademark of Microsoft Inc. in the United States and other countries.

Probably dangerous- requires downloading and running a 3rd party batch file- no thanks

It isn't worth downloading whole Node.JS for this. If you were to write some native client that was really native, it wouldn't be a problem

Required additional download to work. That Additional Download contained a Trojan Virus.

Love this extension but some additional scripts to install make me nervous. Also, correct the icon/logo since it is the old Edge logo, doesn't look good. Works great for me. But 3 star for 2 reasons: 1. It requires some scripting and may feel shady, 2. when I click the button to send in the Edge browser, a new Edge window pops up which is annoying. There should have an option to send it either as a background new window/tab or as popped up new window in the foreground. Please update it.
