Scripts that I tried during tests worked just fine. You may manage scripts, modify installed scripts, create scripts from batch, and modify preferences on top of that. The Tampermonkey interface is identical to that on Google Chrome. This means that some scripts won't work in Microsoft Edge currently, but that is only a temporary thing until the author of Tampermonkey for Microsoft Edge adds those to the extension. Most features work while some are not implemented yet. There is no feedback currently that the selected script was installed, but if you check the script management page, you will notice that it was installed despite the lack of feedback. The installation dialog is a bit problematic, as you end up on a white page after hitting install. You can visit sites like Greasyfork to browser scripts, and hit the install button to add them to Edge after installing the browser extension. Tampermonkey for Microsoft Edge works fine already for the most part. It was created as a response to the abandonment of, the then go-to site for all things scripts.

Greasyfork is probably the best userscript repository right now. Userscripts, once highly popular thanks to the rise of the Firefox web browser and the excellent Greasemonkey extension, are small scripts that modify certain elements on websites, or add elements to them.īasic examples are scripts that change the color scheme on sites, that add links to YouTube videos on news sites, or remove annoyances from sites. It adds capabilities to Microsoft Edge to run userscripts. Tampermonkey is a port of the Google Chrome extension of the same name ( also available for Firefox). Those who run an Insider Preview version of Windows 10 may also install extensions that are available as previews. Users can install ad blockers and other useful extensions right away. While the output is rather low right now - there are a good dozen or so extensions available on the official store - extensions will make Edge more usable and attractive in the long run.


Microsoft added support for browser extensions in Microsoft Edge when it published the Anniversary Update for the company's Windows 10 operating system.
