How to use the web browser without extensions

Microsoft

Microsoft Edge is showing how heavy its rivals are thanks to its extensions and add-ons, but it also indicates to what extent we depend on these applets since Microsoft Edge does not have any and it is not a widely used browser.

In this article we are going to teach you how to use the web browser without any extensions or plugins, in such a way that it works as minimalist as possible and with it that our team does not waste resources to the fool or that we do not have.

Google Chrome without extensions

Chrome is one of the most used browsers today and also the most resource consuming web browser. To make this not so, we only have to copy the shortcut to Google Chrome that we have on our desktop (If not, we have to create it). Once this is done, click on the icon with the right mouse button and go to properties.

In properties we go to the Destination field and at the end of the address we add the following text: «–Disable-extensions». Then we save it, click accept and restart the system. Now instead of running chrome in the usual way, we go to the shortcut that we have created and a version of Chrome will run without any extension.

Internet Explorer without extensions

Yes, there are still users who use Internet Explorer and Microsoft knows it too. In this case we have to do almost the same as with Google Chrome, that is, create the shortcut and go to properties, but in this case we have to write the following at the end of the Destination box:"-Extoff". Then we save and restart the system and we already have Internet Explorer without add-ons or add-ons.

Mozilla Firefox failsafe

In the case of Mozilla Firefox, the operation is not the same since what we do is that Firefox will load failsafe. So we do the direct access again, we go to properties and in the destination box we write at the end "-Safe-mode". We save everything and restart. Now, when executing, it will appear a message indicating that we are in safe mode or failsafe mode where only the essentials are loaded.

Conclusion

We have taught you how to reduce the use of extensions and add-ons in the three most famous and used browsers but such tricks they also work for other web browsers like Palemoon, Iron, etc ... forks of these three web browsers. In any case, it is a useful resource for those who do not want complications or that their web browser consumes more resources than the operating system Do not you think?
