Because it is built on the Chromium platform, Edge browser can use the extensions (extensions) of Edge and Google Chrome. This is quite convenient for Edge users because there is a huge pool of extensions from the Chrome Web Store to experience.

And Microsoft has developed a feature to automatically sync the extensions installed on the browser between multiple devices. Make installing the utility on a new computer easy.

2. Collections

Microsoft Edge has a unique feature called Collections that allows users to collect and compare shopping items, collect and combine information from platforms like Wikipedia and include all the information you've gathered. A dedicated control panel for future reference.

In the next version, Microsoft is improving the Collections feature by allowing users to save all open tabs to new or existing collections. You can then reopen all those tabs on the Edge browser from another device that you share a Microsoft account with.
