Chrome extension works for google search on Edge browser. Britannica Insights Edge extension does not work for bing searches.
by Edward, 2022-08-27

It seems that this extension only works on Google Chrome but it doesn't seem to work on Microsoft Edge. Any bugs?
by Victor, 2021-02-24

It's okay, the search sites like bing and google already provide most of the detail this does. When you click on theirs to get more well you need to be a paid member to get more.
