The Sidebar in Microsoft Edge lets you multitask, allowing you to access tools, apps, and more within your current tab without breaking your flow. The sidebar comes built-in with some of the most popular apps, such as Instagram, Spotify, Facebook, and more.
In addition to that, Microsoft has now launched a dedicated Sidebar Apps catalog on the Edge Add-ons store for users to explore and add more apps to the Sidebar. You can add any app by clicking the customize + (plus) icon and clicking the app. Then it opens in the sidebar and you can pin it and receive notifications.
Back in August this year, Microsoft announced support for developing third-party extensions for the Edge sidebar and how developers can make their Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) support and adapt it to the minimum sidebar width.
