What you need to know
- Microsoft Edge Canary has a new feature that allows you to pause all extensions at once for a specific site.
- You can already toggle individual extensions on or off, but the new option allows you to disable them all with a single click.
- Edge Canary can also automatically pause extensions on sensitive sites, such as those that take payment details.
Extensions can greatly enhance the capabilities of your browser. Whether you need to swap websites to dark mode, block ads, or play the Wii Shop Channel music whenever you browse a shopping site, there's an extension to be found. While it's possible to disable extensions individually on a per-site basis, Microsoft is working on a way to pause all extensions with a single click.
Leo Varela spotted and shared screenshots of the feature in action on Edge Canary. With the new option, you can pause all extensions on a site rather than having to toggle each of them off individually.
