You can manually enable the option to get extensions from other stores. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Extensions-Chrome-or-Microsoft-Store/m-p/469515/highlight/true#M1602 Is ...

Forced extensions work without to opt-in the toggle. I tried twice with new profiles from the chrome store. I used the same gpo settings from Chrome to Edge

Sorry to dig up an old thread but i'm not getting the same experience as you guys when trying to install a chrome extension using "Control which extensions are installed silently"

First, what i'm doing:

Grabbing the extension ID from the URL in the Chrome Web Store.

Opening the 'Control which extensions are installed silently' setting - this is enabled.

Entering the extension ID in the list of 'Extension/App IDs and update URLs to be silently installed.'

None of the other settings inside User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Extensions are configured.

Am i missing something?

Edge Version: Stable 81.0.416.58

elltommo Apologies for the delayed response. If you are still looking for an answer - here it is.

Use the following format to add an extension to the list:

[extensionID];[updateURL]

extensionID - the 32-letter string found on edge://extensions when in developer mode.
updateURL (optional) is the address of the Update Manifest XML document for the app or extension. If you don't set the updateURL, it is assumed that the extension belongs to Microsoft Store. If you want to install an extension from the Chrome Web Store, please provide the Chrome Web Store update URL: https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx

Example:
