Last Updated on December 2, 2016 by admin 2 Comments

Anniversary Update for Windows 10 brought much requested extensions support for Microsoft Edge browser. Like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, the Edge browser can now be enhanced by installing extensions.

Although limited number of extensions are available for Edge for now, many developers are slowly but surely bringing Chrome and Firefox extensions to Edge as well.

    Because I’m technologically challenged, I don’t understand how to find out what extension is blocking my access to my bank account – Chase.com. It seems every time I do an update in Windows, something else goes haywire! Can you send me step-by-step instructions of how to fix this? I’ve tried googling how to disable extensions, but it seems it’s telling me to turn off the lights!!!
    Thanks for your help in this.

    Finally! I spent a couple of hours trying to get rid of LastPass from popping up every time I opened Edge. This was a quick fix and I’m glad I finally found it.
