Windows 10: Microsoft brings Windows 10 Timeline to Chrome with a new extension

WinLatest · Feb 19, 2019

Windows 10 Timeline was launched almost one year ago with April 2018 Update and the optional feature allows you to track what documents, web pages you’ve been working on recently. Timeline collects and organizes your activities into a single page, allowing you to quickly pick up an activity where you left off.

Windows 10 Timeline allows you to find what you were doing in the past 30 days and you can pick up any activity such as a web page to continue from where you left off. If you’ve never used it, you can access the Timeline feature by clicking on the icon ‘Task View’, located next to Cortana search box.

As noted above, Timeline is an optional feature and it can be turned off from Settings > Privacy > Activity History where you have to uncheck two options.

Microsoft recently updated Microsoft Launcher on Android to bring Timeline to Android phones. In an attempt to sync the activities from various apps, Microsoft has now released a new extension for Chrome which brings Timeline to Google’s browser.

The extension was released on February 15 and you can enable it in Chrome to see your web browsing activities across all your devices where Windows Timeline is enabled.

Microsoft says that the extension allows you to see your browsing activities across all your Windows 10 devices and even Microsoft Launcher for Android.

“With this extension, your browsing history will appear across all your devices in surfaces such as in Windows timeline and Microsoft Launcher for Android. Just sign in with your Microsoft account, select a site you’ve recently visited, and pick up where you left off,” Microsoft explains.

You can download the extension from here.

Microsoft launched a new Windows 10 Redstone build for users participating in the Windows Insider program that finally brings support for browser extensions in Edge, but for the moment this new feature is limited to just 3 add-ons.

Obviously, Microsoft’s planning to add many more extensions to the Edge lineup in the coming months, and just like previously announced, it wants all Google Chrome extensions to work on its browser with little to no modifications.

It has already been demonstrated that the first Edge extensions work in Google Chrome with only small tweaks, but the plan is actually to make them fully compatible the other way around.

Bringing Extensions to Microsoft Edge

I am excited to share that we have shipped the first preview release of Microsoft Edge with extensions support to Windows Insiders.

Since the beginning of the Microsoft Edge project, our roadmap has always included extensions in order to support a vibrant community of developer innovation on top of the browser, enabling new and interesting scenarios for our customers. As we have also shared, one of our highest priorities is to ensure that Microsoft Edge is the safest, most reliable and fastest browser we could build, and our experience over the past 20 years has taught us that poorly written or even malicious add-ons were a huge source of security, reliability and performance issues for browsers.

With this in mind, we have built Microsoft Edge so customers can add extensions to the browser with the confidence that they will operate as expected.

To ensure the highest quality experience for customers, and as we have done with Windows 10 since the beginning, we will introduce extensions first to our Windows Insiders and then roll them out more broadly to all Windows 10 users. Initially our Insiders will download and then sideload extensions for testing purposes, but ultimately we will make extensions available to all of our customers via the Windows Store to ensure the quality of the end-to-end experience.

The Windows Insider build will include three preview extensions: Microsoft Translator, an extension that automatically translates pages in over 50 different languages, a Mouse Gestures extension, and an early preview version of the popular Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES). Later this year customers will find popular extensions from partners like AdBlock, Adblock Plus, Amazon, LastPass, Evernote and more.

We are very excited to get these initial Microsoft Edge extensions into Insiders’ hands, so please, download the build, try out the preview extensions and send us feedback!

Microsoft’s Edge Extensions can run on Google’s Chrome

Microsoft’s Edge Extensions download page leaked yesterday, and while it was not possible to install the extensions on Edge yet, interestingly developer By Bavo Luysterborg was able to get them running, in a fashion, on Google’s Chrome browser.

It is well known that Microsoft’s goal was to make it easier for developers to bring their extensions from Chrome to Edge, and it appears only minor edits to the manifest files and minor patching are needed to enable the port.

The website for Edge extensions reveals that the browser will initially have extensions for Microsoft Translator, Reddit Enhancement Suite, and Mouse Gestures:
