Microsoft Edge lets you add themes to change the browser's appearance and make it look more personal. If you want to make Edge look more fun, you can easily install themes (and remove them) without hassle.

Before beginning, you should update Microsoft Edge to the latest available version. After that, you can personalize your experience without any hassle.

How to Add New Themes in Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge's Add-ons store offers 24 official themes to change Edge's look and feel. Installing themes is one way to jazz up things without having to switch to Dark Mode in Edge.

Open the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store and go to the "Themes" section.

How to Remove or Uninstall Themes from Microsoft Edge

Checking out and applying new themes to Microsoft Edge is quite easy. However, it's a bit tricky to uninstall or remove those themes from Edge and your computer.

Fire up the Edge browser and click on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner. From the drop-down menu that opens, select "Settings."

Open Settings from Menu of Edge

Choose the "Appearance" section on the left.
