I’ve been using Microsoft Edge for a few days and I gotta say, I think they made a better Chrome than Google.

- Less creepy ad stuff
- Cool features like vertical tabs, split view, and more stuff I haven’t explored yet
- I think the UI looks better but that’s subjective

(Obligatory FYI: Firefox is my main browser. I’m a multi-browser user)

With that in mind, here are the extensions I can’t live without:

- ScrollAnwhere: let’s me click and drag anywhere on the page to scroll. Which is good because I can’t physically use a scroll wheel and scrollbars are going out of fashion 😖

- uBlock Origin: death to trackers and ads

- Stylus: add CSS to any webpage

- 1Password: totally lost without it

- A Fine Start: ok I made this one and I’m biased but it’s the best new tab page out there.

What are yours?

People love their native apps, and I totally get that. But browsers do some special things that most of us probably take for granted.

The robust extensions system lets you add or change just about anything in the browser itself and **any webpage or app you are viewing**.

Imagine you could adjust the UI of your favorite native apps by just providing a little CSS.

Imagine changing core behaviors of a native app to suit your fancy.

No support from the developer needed.

Just incredible.
