If you have a Microsoft 365 subscription, you can now add Microsoft Editor as a Chrome extension (PC only at the moment, no Mac). This will be useful especially for those working online a lot (mails etc.) and even more so for those using online CAT tools (Smartcat, Wordfast Anywhere, MemoQ online etc.).
