Migrating to Microsoft Edge

I'm in the process of migrating to Microsoft Edge now that it's using the free & open-source Chromium. I initially reviewed the browser extensions that I'm actively using in Chrome and manually installed whatever I could from the Microsoft Edge Addons.

I'm using the developer version of Edge and was prompted to optionally sync all of the Chrome extensions, so I did. I then deleted anything that wasn't already installed from the Microsoft Edge store. Everything appears to work fine except for the Authy extension which seems to be dependent on their Authy Chrome App. (I switched to the desktop version since Chrome Apps are being phased out by 2022.)

I use a couple one-letter shortcuts in the address bar to quickly go to my favorite websites. The default search engine is Bing and I wanted to make some edits. The options seem buried compared to Chrome which lists "Search engine" as a primary navigation option. To find it, go to Settings > Privacy and services | Services | Address bar.

I'd thought I'd share the extensions that I'm using as a ColdFusion/CFML web application developer. Enjoy!
