Microsoft rolled out Windows 10 Redstone 2 build 14926 only a few hours ago, and soon after publishing the original announcement, the firm came back to reveal that there’s even more to discover for insiders who give it a try.

Microsoft Edge browser has received particular attention in this new build, so fast ring insiders installing it can give a try to new browser extensions that are available for download right now.

Dona Sarkar, the head of the Windows Insider program, says that Microsoft is currently working with partners to make more extensions available for Edge browser, and while these two new add-ons are currently offered to insiders exclusively, they should be released to everyone very soon.

The new extensions aren’t yet published in the store

“We have two new releases which we need your help testing and giving feedback on before we publish them to the general public. TamperMonkey is a popular userscript manager that lets users customize the content of pages across the web. Microsoft Personal Shopping Assistant is your smart shopping cart across the web, which collects your browsed products and lets you get price alerts for saved products and compare products between sellers,” Microsoft explained.

The new extensions aren’t yet published in the Windows Store, but you can install them by simply clicking the links in the quote to get them.

Additionally, Microsoft Edge also comes with a new feature that makes it possible for insiders to export favorites from the browser. All you have to do is launch the settings screen of Edge and click on the “View favorites settings” option to reach it.

Microsoft Edge is also getting a new “Snooze” feature in this build, which allows users to set reminders for loaded websites with help from Cortana. This way, they can be reminded to visit a specific website at a later time with a notification in the Action Center.
