EXTENSIONS

Trev

Greetings to y’all I am setting up a Microsoft Surface pro 7. Several days ago I installed windows 11 Pro on the machine.

I have tried to review previously loaded Extensions. For each of the Extensions There is a message:

"Can’t read and change data on this site"- listed after each extension. What is this about? How do I access settings for extensions?

Hi Trevor, it depends on the extension. Many of them make changes at the browser level and neither request nor require permission to alter web page contents. I would say it's only a problem if the extension isn't working the way it should work.
