Fantastic small extension that can open tabs in Edge. no additional files need to be downloaded! this is exactly what i needed.

2 suggestions to make this a 5 star rating
1) fix Alt + Shift + E this doesn't work on my instance
2) it would be great if there was a list of domains that would automatically launch. (but the work around is adding microsoft-edge: to the front of the URL (however there is a confirmation popup that comes up)

light, small extension

Könnten Sie das Addon so konfigurieren, dass ein Link in Edge geöffnet werden kann, wenn Sie die zweite Taste drücken? Entschuldigen Sie mein Deutsch.

This has consistently worked for me over the last several months with no issues.

This would be good if we can provide specific URL patterns that would do this automatically.

However for now you can hack it with Grease Monkey

// ==UserScript==
// @name Redirect and Close Tab
// @namespace http://your.namespace.here
// @version 1.0
// @description Change the URL of the current page and close the tab
// add your stuff
// @match https://dev.azure.com/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
'use strict';

var currentURL = window.location.href;
var newURL = "microsoft-edge:" + currentURL;
window.location.href = newURL;
window.close();
})();

Exactly what I needed, with no extra software required.

Needs to download an installer. No TY.

Does what it says on the tin

Love it, please if you can, make one for open in Chrome as well.

What makes this addon stand out from the crowd is it doesn't require unnecessary permissions to work. Only one thing bugs me is I can't directly open links on edge instead of first opening in firefox. It would be really helpful if you can add one option in context menu. However if that means accessing data for all websites permissions, nevermind lol Anyways good work developer!

It worked perfect but only on the very first try.....I just tried it again for the second time day later and instead of launching M. Edge it launches my BRAVE browser LOL.....

Developer: Can you possibly help me?
If you can please email me at

十分完美，也没过多的权限请求。而且还询问链接的打开方式！赞！

Simply Amazing
The rest ask me to download and install extension plugins to my system. This one works great right outside of the box.

Wow. I didn't realize when this method was possible, so the fact that you found it is great!!!
I find it useful for so many add-ons.
