In June 2021, Microsoft released a new extension for programs browser that allows users to access their Outlook accounts without opening a new tab, similar to how the Vivaldi app allows you to add any website to an always-accessible sidebar.
The Microsoft Outlook extension can send and receive emails, create and edit calendar entries, manage tasks, and view contacts.
You can download the extension using this link from Edge Add-ons Store.
When Microsoft announced the Outlook extension, it promised to release it in the Chrome Web Store. Several months after the first release, the company finally made good on its promise. Microsoft has finally pushed the Microsoft Outlook extension to the Chrome Web Store.
See how Microsoft describes the extension:
“Send and receive emails, manage calendar, work και άλλων χωρίς να ανοίξετε νέα καρτέλα. Η επέκταση του προγράμματος περιήγησης Microsoft Outlook σάς προσφέρει τη λειτουργία της αλληλογραφίας, του ημερολογίου, των επαφών και άλλων εργασιών χρησιμοποιώντας ένα εικονίδιο στο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης. Μπορείτε να έχετε γρήγορη πρόσβαση στον λογαριασμός work of Outlook or your simple Outlook.com or Hotmail account without opening another tab or application.”
After downloading Microsoft Outlook for Google Chrome using this link, you can connect to your personal or work profile and start using Outlook in a small pop-up window instead of going to another tab.
In case you did not know, Google recently announced plans to remove Manifest V2-based extensions for its browser. Developers will have to update their projects on the Manifest V3 platform to continue running after January 2023.
