How to Use Helperbird on Android with Microsoft Edge

Add Helperbird to Microsoft Edge on Android, check whether your build of Edge can run extensions at all, and unlock Pro with a Microsoft account or a key.

Using Firefox on Android instead? Follow How to use Helperbird on Android with Firefox. On a computer? Follow How to install Helperbird.

Before You Start

Step 1: Check That Edge Can Run Extensions

  1. Open Microsoft Edge
  2. Tap the three-dot menu at the bottom of the screen
  3. Look for Extensions in the list

If Extensions is there, go to step 2.

If it is missing, update Edge in the Play Store and look again. Still missing? This build cannot install extensions. Use Firefox for Android instead.

Step 2: Add Helperbird

  1. Tap the three-dot menu, then Extensions
  2. Search for Helperbird
  3. Tap Get, then tap Add to confirm

Edge installs Helperbird and turns it on. You do not need an account for the free features.

Step 3: Open the Helperbird Menu

  1. Open any web page
  2. Tap the three-dot menu, then Extensions
  3. Tap Helperbird

The Helperbird menu opens on top of the page. Tap a feature to turn it on.

Making that trip for every change is slow on a phone. Turn on the Floating Toolbar so your tools stay on the page.

Unlocking Pro on Edge

Edge gives you two ways in. Firefox and Safari hide the sign-in and take a subscription key only.

  1. Open the Helperbird menu
  2. Tap Settings, the gear at the top
  3. Tap Login to open the Helperbird settings page
  4. Tap Continue with Microsoft Account, or paste your key into Subscription key and tap Save

Signing in reads the Microsoft account Edge is already signed into, so Edge needs to be signed in with sync on. See How to enable and use sync in Chrome or Edge.

Not sure which to use? Read Email login vs subscription key.

supporting a range of learning di...

Helperbird is an excellent extension supporting a range of learning differences. Aside from providing many evidence-based dyslexia-assistive tools, the extension also functions as an easy-to-use, feature-rich web experience customization tool suitable to support a wide range of cognitive differences (i.e., color blindness and ADHD-related focus concerns, among others). Also, the developer is a very good person who supports the various learning-different communities in many ways, including by designing the free version of Helperbird to provide enough functionality to be beneficial to people who cannot afford to subscribe to the full-function version.

post concussion syndrome

I found this extension on a whim to help myself. Suffering with post concussion syndrome symptoms and working remotely is really hard! This extension basically saved my job. It gave me back productivity and the ability to read the screen. This extension has so many neat features I never even knew I needed. I love this and you will too! You don't need to be dyslexic or have dyslexia for this extension to benefit you. Do yourself a giant favor and get it! I highly recommend it!
