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

The scope of this work item changed and at the moment, we are only supporting the ability to "not allow" extensions from Chrome Web Store.

More than a year later and still no solution. Come on Microsoft, how difficult can it be to create a GPO / Intune Settings Catalog setting for this? It's just toggling a switch that already exists in Edge between enable and disable.

  PeteMitchell Please see if the ControlDefaultStateOfAllowExtensionFromOtherStoresSettingEnabled
  
  policy can help in your scenario. Documentation can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#controldefaultstateofallowextensionfromotherstoressettingenabled. Thanks!
