Re: Drag and drop chrome extensions

QueenNini I appreciate the follow-up. After talking to the Extensions team, it sounds like there is a known issue around Drag-and-Drop. If you are able, can you try to unpack the CRX file (by renaming to .zip), and then try loading from the folder in developer mode instead?

    Deleted It took a few tries and the suggestions work. I do hope the drag and drop come back though.

    Deleted I'm using the updated preinstalled edge and I already have the developer mode on. To confirm, I should download the CRX file, unpacked into zip in the developer mode? If so I will try that method and let you know.

    I tried to use the CRX extension to use Chrome theme to change the outlook of the browser. It didn't work. The message said it might harm, the computer since it's a 3rd party app. I click continue and nothing happened. I had issues with themes in Beta and Deleted notified the extension team on this. Is downloading themes still an issue?

      QueenNini  After touching base with the team again, it sounds like theme extensions aren’t fully supported in Edge right now, but it’s something the team is actively working on. (They did have another suggestion, though, so I'll merge this thread with your first one and post the work-around there.)
