The old extension store website need to be replaced
Using Microsoft Bing, searching for an extension like ublock origin, shows me this result this is the link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/ublock-origin/9nblggh444l4?activ...

HotCakeX And how do you suggest legacy Edge users to install extensions?
- HotCakeXFeb 19, 2020MVPAnd How do you suggest new Edge users don't get misled by these search results?
there is a reason why Microsoft calls EdgeHTML Legacy. you shouldn't expect the experience to be the same.
the Legacy Edge is only staying for compatibility purposes. compatibility means only its engine, EdgeHTML, not the old extensions that it used and they are all available for the new Edge.
also Legacy Edge extensions can be installed from Windows store.- msekmfb1Feb 19, 2020Iron ContributorThe problem is that the stable channel of the new Edge isn't available on Windows 10 1507-1809. Removing links to the legacy extensions in the search means that these extensions should be removed. For example, I can not update to 1903 on some of my computers because there is not GPU driver what works with 1903. The search results, actually, ranks by popularity, and you can do nothing until market share of the ChrEdge will exceed the market share of the old one. Removing the legacy extensions would be a big fault.

those versions are obsolete, out dated and not to be used by anyone.https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet
