Following on from the YouTube ad-blocking extensions from last week… in Edge, there are lots of other extensions you can ‘add’ in to improve your experience when using the internet. To find the extensions ‘store’, click on the jigsaw piece to the right of your web address and then click on ‘open Microsoft Edge Add-ons’:
There are thousands to choose from, many of which have nothing to do with productivity (eg. who wouldn’t want any available discount coupons to be applied automatically when you checkout on any online store) but some examples of good ones are below:

- Grammarly – this will check the grammar in real-time as you type anything online
- Print Friendly PDF – when you print directly from a webpage, this will remove any of the adverts or junk and turn it into a more genuine document.
