Edge extension suspicious connection
This issue has been widely reported in the last week or two.
According to responses in other discussions concerning the issue:
(1) The extensionwebstorebase.edgesv.net domain is obsolete, which is why Microsoft allowed the certificate to expire.
(2) Edge, for whatever reason, still calls to the domain with respect to some extensions.
(3) The Edge Team is pushing an Edge update to eliminate the issue, without an ETA known at this time.
Unless you are willing to work through your extensions one by one attempting to find the culprit(s), I suspect your choices at this point are to (a) whitelist the extensionwebstorebase.edgesv.net domain in Bitdefender or (b) put up with the error message until the necessary changes have been made in Edge.
tomscharbach - It's now been almost 6 months since I first saw this reported. It would seem Microsoft for some unknown reason has decided this isn't important enough to them, to fix. For all of us who believe security is very important this isn't expectable. It sure is good to know that most if not all of the other web browsers I've tested don't seem to have this problem. I really like Brave, Firefox, Chrome, etc.. While Microsoft really does have some good applications their web browser needs some tune-ups.
- Agree, very annoying and completely unnecessary if Microsoft would just roll out an update to fix this.
