    Question converning browser extensions ...


    I was thinking of adding some extensions to my browser.
    I concern is that most, if not all, of the extensions want persmissions to access webpages visited, passwords, etc..

    Seems to me that these extensions are just as risky as not using them.

    Why do these extensions need all this information?
    Are any extensions trustworthy and safe?

    I use both SRWare Iron and Firefox browsers on Window 10.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    extension manager

    Hi Tony,

    A browser extension is a plug-in that extends the functionality of a web browser. If you are referring to extension manager of Microsoft Edge browser. Follow these steps to add an extension for Microsoft Edge:

    Note:If you don't have the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or later, this option will not be available.

    • Open the Microsoft Edge and type about:flags into the address bar.
    • Select the Enable extension developer features checkbox and then
      restart your browser.
    • Select More (...) to open the menu.
    • Select Extensions from the menu.
    • Select the Load extension button.
    • Navigate to your extension's folder and select the Select folder button.

    Let us know how it goes.
