    No worries, just take your precious time, you only failed 2 browsers so far due to ridiculously overcomplicated processes and frameworks for community submissions, third time's a charm I guess.

      AlexT2594 Hi, you can upload your Edge extension here: https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard

      Register developer account, then from the projects select Microsoft Edge.

      I have uploaded same ZIP file with extension as for Google Chrome. It looks like they are not approving yet, I am waiting in review state for 6 days.

      It appears that Jan 15th is the release date and a "release candidate" type of build is going public today:
      https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/4/20942038/microsoft-edge-chromium-release-date-new-logo-features

      Do you have an update in regards to the Store?

      Thanks, Michael

    Elliot Kirk can you also advise on the payment workflow as well.

     

    Chrome, for example, supports (even encourages) the use of self-managed licensing flows due to the potential of depending on client-side javascript to verify payment/licenses and that the Chrome Web Store may not be appropriate. I've seen old Edge policies suggesting it enforces MS Store usage for all payments so wanted to confirm that we'd all need to write Edge specific extensions if wanting to publish paid extensions to the Edge (Chromium) store.

     

    It would be advantageous to not be forced to do this, especially for existing Chrome extension developers wanting to publish to Edge as well.
