- (2024-07-08) Todd: Works when you first install it, then it disappears. Crappy extension for crappy browser
- (2023-10-28) Edwin: The file menu that is provided by this extension does NOT provide a way to easily open a locally stored file by browsing for it in order to open it!!! Only provides options like New Tab, New Window, and New Incognito Window.
- (2023-10-09) Mr.: ©Mr. Johnny E. Wellons, II Giveaway No. 21762
- (2023-08-30) Gary: 这个插件太好用了吧~~~
- (2023-08-30) Cecil: 这个插件太好用了吧~~~
- (2023-06-06) Taylor,: My Edge version says I have this add on installed, but I don't see anything that will let me get to the traditional software menu.
- (2023-03-29) Tom: This is ridiculous, a hard-to-find fix for stupid update to the browser. GFY, you idiots at Microsoft.
- (2022-12-10) Judy: LOUSY!!!!! No menu bar is the very reason I rarely use EDGE and this add on is awful. So I still don't have a proper menu bar. Bad name by the way
- (2022-05-09) Joann: I am VERY happy about getting a menubar of some abilities on Edge. It works on most pages, except those on the Microsoft sites (!!!) and few others that fail to support it. I will still be using Firefox for 90% of my browsing because I like it much more and it's not security compromised, ala Chrome. However, some sites are Edge specific (as some were for IE) and Edge must be used to get all features to work. True, Proper Menu could use some work, but it is a very good alternative to having none... and I find no alternative available as of 5-2022. Now if we can just get MS to be on board with its own recommended extension so it works all the time I'd be happier.
- (2022-03-17) Claus: leider nicht in deutsch
- (2022-03-07) Thomas: I want to open an html file that I have built but can't find the file/open. This is a very elementary part of the file menu.
- (2021-12-20) Larry: This Add-On doesn't add a permanent menu bar that is visible anywhere. Rather, have to always click the "+" symbol/button to open a pull down containing the menu bar selections.
- (2021-12-08) Herek,: Doesn't do what it says it wants to do.
- (2021-11-28) Dave: Doesn't work. You have to add it to every tab and then it doesn't "stick". No surprise. Edge is the worst browser out there. Apparently written by kids for kids. Not suitable for business for sure.
- (2021-11-19) Fechteler,: The menubar is part of the browser-window, not part of the browser itself: Ridiculous.
- (2021-10-04) Wittig,: Spracheinstellung ändern funktioniert nicht!
- (2021-09-11) Fred: This sucks!
- (2021-08-04) Jon: It doesn't add a menu bar. I couldn't uninstall Edge so I had to pay a techy friend to manipulate my computer to get rid of the Edge app on my computer. Shame! Firefox is the only normal browser left. Please support them people!!!
- (2021-07-31) Jefrey: What a piece of **** , doesn't work time waster, don't bother, maybe if it actually worked.. JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR DOES NOT ADD A MENU BAR..
- (2021-06-30) fred: It shows up before I click install. Then when I click install, it disappears. It did not show up as an Installed Extension, so when I go back to try to install it again, I have to uninstall it first. Talk about confusion.......
- (2021-06-18) Gyle: Can't get it to show the menu bar. Yes I made sure it was turned on! When I click to go to options, it won't change from basic no matter which menu option I choose. I am removing this app
- (2021-06-05) Dan: Good extension but needs option to put Menubar above tabs.
- (2021-05-30) Allen: Microsoft Edge mistakenly has no menu bar, and Proper Menubar perfectly solved the problem.
- (2021-05-13) Jamal: Awesome!
- (2021-05-09) rocket6: absolute junk. the idea is good but it flashes and looks like garbage.
- (2021-02-28) Jimmy: You should make it so it disappears in fullscreen mode
- (2021-02-01) outback: its good to have but it would be better if it was above the <- -> the refresh and home button
- (2021-02-01) duan: 2333,机翻味
- (2020-12-09) Richard: I ended up disabling this addon because at every page refresh it wreaked havoc with the screen redraw. -------------------------------------------------------- Does the job quite well. I didn't like the white on black text but I did finally find the options menu to change that and it looks awesome now. My only complaint is the menu doesn't follow the mouse. Meaning, if you click on File, then move the mouse over to Edit the File menu stays open and the Edit menu stays closed until you actually click on Edit.
- (2020-12-01) gail: I installed but it's not showing. NVM. It's a button not a menu bar. I can maybe deal w/ that.. NVM mind again! I got it. Not used to Edge :(. I'm used to FF and it's been acting up past couple days :(.
- (2020-10-18) Jim: I installed "Proper Menubar for Microsoft Edge" and it seemed like I was looking for, until I found two things. 1. It seems to cause interference in screen refreshes, causing a "flash" like it was capturing screens.2. When the user clicks on the Help the MS Edge Help button has been replaced by one redirecting the user to a $$ support and sales site. I removed the extension.
- (2020-10-11) Rob: Fantastic app! *DL'it now!! =D DL'it = // Download // this app now.
- (2020-07-09) Kathy: I just added it and know I'm going to love it. I can't believe a menu bar isn't standard on any browser. Thank you so much for creating this! I wish I could contribute more as a thank you!
- (2020-05-13) Elaine: Stefan - So glad that you developed the File-Edit-View-History-ETC as that was one of better features in the old IE. I try to do views often and it was very painful before you offered this extension. So THANK YOU. -Elaine
