Two edges of the published Edge are "Pin It Button" and "Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES)". "Pin It Button" is a photo sharing servicePinterest"Reddit Enhancement Suite" is a function that allows you to use convenient functions such as preview and new comment function when browsing Reddit and is already released in other browsers It is being done.


Besides the place introducing the extended function, there was a description that carefully explained how to download the extended function.


In addition, WalkingCat posts impressions about the extended functions that were published "Edge's extension is basically the same as Chrome's same extension, except for a few differences."

Comparing Edge version vs. Chrome version of same extension, basically substitute "chrome" with "msBrowser", add few minor changes, done.
