This tutorial will show you how to pin and unpin extension icons on the toolbar in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Extensions, or add-ons, are simple tools that customize your browser experience and offer you more control in Microsoft Edge.

You can add extensions to Microsoft Edge from the Microsoft Edge Add-ons Store by default whenever you want. If you like, you can also allow to add extensions to Microsoft Edge from other sources like the Chrome Web Store.

You can pin (add) or unpin (remove) icons of installed extensions on the toolbar in Microsoft Edge without needing to turn off or uninstall the extension.

I don't understand how one can do this without clicking the More actions (3 dots) button.

Hey mate, :alien:

There should be a pin button just to the left of the 3 dots more options button for each listed extension that is turned on.
