If you've been following my project management software reviews on The Ascent, you'll know I'm not a huge fan of the way Microsoft structures their applications to be dependent on the rest of their ecosystem to function to their potential. At first, this began as a review of Wunderlist, but as of 2015, Microsoft acquired parent company 6Wunderkinder for an estimated $200 million and morphed it into Microsoft To Do. The reason is the inability to use the stock with the Microsoft identity platform. But this permission is needed for an alternative implementation of user authentication. * The extension requires the seemingly unnecessary 'Read browsing history' permission. But unfortunately, there's no official extension at this time – Reason: the public API does not allow you to get information about grouping lists.

* When you select a list, the lists are shown in an un-grouped form. It is due to the features of the Microsoft identity platform. The extension uses this tab to obtain an updated access token. * If more than 24 hours have passed since the previous use of the extension, then when you start it you will see a browser tab automatically opening in the background. * Flexible configuration of the expansion interface: time and date formats, default list (with ability to remember last used), default reminder time (or last used). * Assigning keyboard shortcuts for both types of operations. * Quick Add - adds page (or link) information to the default list without demonstrating the extension interface. * Adding using the extension interface - you can add page information, select the desired list, and set the reminder time beforehand. The extension allows you to add information about the current page to ToDo: title, selected text, and URL. ❗ This is not an official Microsoft extension. It's the easiest way to save anything from the web to your ToDo lists.
