Office 365, SharePoint, Azure, OnePlace Solutions & Life's Other Little Wonders
I've been using the new Microsoft Edge browser as my default browser now for several weeks. I initially missed some Chrome extensions that made my life a little easier and the Microsoft Edge Extensions store hasn't got much to offer yet.
