EdgyPro Extension vs Tampermonkey vs EdgyOne: Which Should You Use?
There are now three ways to run EdgyPro on a computer: the Chrome Web Store extension, the Tampermonkey userscript, and the EdgyOne desktop app. They all run the same menu with the same features and the same key. What differs is how EdgyPro gets installed, how it updates, and whether Proctorio can see it. Here's the short version, then the details.
Pick in 10 seconds
- Chromebook, or any computer, no proctored tests: the Chrome extension.
- Windows or Mac with proctored tests coming up: the EdgyOne app.
- Firefox, or a browser that can't use the Chrome Web Store: Tampermonkey.
- iPhone or iPad: none of the above; use the Safari apps on the mobile tab.

The Chrome Extension
The default for new users since October 2026. You add it from the Chrome Web Store, log into Edgenuity, and the menu is there. Chrome keeps the extension itself up to date and the extension refreshes the EdgyPro script every few hours, so "Outdated Version" popups mostly disappear. It runs through Chrome's built-in user-script support, which is why no Developer Mode switch is involved.
Best for: Chromebooks (it's the only no-fuss option there), Linux, and anyone on Windows or Mac who never takes proctored tests or doesn't mind switching to EdgyOne for those.
Limits: Proctorio can see browser extensions, so on a proctored test EdgyPro tells you and pauses. School-managed Chromebooks that block the Web Store block this too.
Tampermonkey
The original way. Tampermonkey is a general userscript manager; EdgyPro is a script you install into it. It still works everywhere it always did, and it's the only option for Firefox. The downsides are all setup: Developer Mode, the "Allow User Scripts" toggle Chrome added in version 120 (the number one cause of "the menu doesn't show up"), downloading and importing a file.
Best for: Firefox users, people who already run other userscripts, and browsers that can't reach the Chrome Web Store.
Limits: same Proctorio visibility as the extension, plus the setup friction. The download page keeps the full steps under "Advanced".
EdgyOne
A free Windows and Mac app that opens its own Chrome window with EdgyPro already inside, no extension in the list for Proctorio to find. Press Launch, log into Edgenuity, done. It's the only one of the three that works on proctored tests, and it updates EdgyPro on every launch. The plain-English explanation covers how it gets past Proctorio.
Best for: anyone on Windows or Mac with proctored unit tests or finals.
Limits: no Chromebook or Linux build, and it's a separate app rather than your everyday browser.
Can I Mix Them?
Across devices, yes: extension on the Chromebook, EdgyOne on the gaming PC, Stay on the phone, same key. On the same browser, no: if the extension and a Tampermonkey copy both run on one page you get two menus and double clicks. Disable the EdgyPro script in Tampermonkey once the extension is in. EdgyOne uses its own Chrome profile, so it never conflicts with either.
Comparison FAQ
Is the extension the same EdgyPro as the Tampermonkey version?
Yes. All three ways run the same menu and features, and the same key works in each. They differ in how the script is installed, updated and hidden from Proctorio.
Can I use the extension and Tampermonkey at the same time?
Don't. Two copies on one page cause double menus and double clicks. Pick one and disable the other.
Which option works on a phone?
None of the three. On iPhone and iPad EdgyPro runs through Safari userscript apps (Stay or Focus Script); see the mobile tab on the download page.
