Now, Microsoft is testing a new Edge Canary feature to give users more control of extensions.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to instantly block ads, track deals and discounts with Honey, or enable dark mode is great. However, extensions also have access to all sorts of permissions and privacy data, and they\u2019re not ideal when you need to log into a work account or similar. Basically, extensions are great but can also be annoying.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently wants to fix this and is running A\/B tests with several extension controls in the latest Edge Canary beta build. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit<\/a> user\u00a0Leo Varela first noticed these new features and\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MicrosoftEdge\/comments\/u1p8rp\/microsoft_is_testing_new_options_for_managing\/\">shared screenshots<\/a>\u00a0of how it works.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114841 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2422ccc7.png\" alt=\"pause extensions on Edge Canary\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MicrosoftEdge\/comments\/u1p8rp\/microsoft_is_testing_new_options_for_managing\/\" data-credittext=\"Leo Varela on Reddit\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MicrosoftEdge\/comments\/u1p8rp\/microsoft_is_testing_new_options_for_managing\/\">Leo Varela on Reddit<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While we can already toggle certain extensions on or off, now you\u2019ll be able to pause all extensions on a specific site with a single click. You can even set it up to automatically pause any extension you want while visiting sensitive sites. This is great for logging into your bank, checkout pages on sites, or even for work login purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if a specific extension doesn\u2019t play nice with a site, like an ad-blocker, you can set it up to automatically turn off when visiting that site. Personally, this is better than manually turning it off or removing the extension entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft added helpful banner notifications, too, saying, \u201cWe\u2019ve paused extensions on this site to keep your data sharing minimal\u201d when necessary.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that this is currently only available as a beta test feature in Canary builds, and even then, it may not be available to everyone. However, if you\u2019re on the latest release, you can try to access these new extension controls in the\u00a0ellipsis menu on Edge. We\u2019re assuming this will arrive eventually for all users, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see. Keep in mind that another option is to simply open an incognito tab but to each their own.<\/p>\n<p><small>via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.windowscentral.com\/microsoft-edge-can-now-pause-all-extensions-once\">Windows Central<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
