Here is how to do it on your Edge canary:
1. go to the Edge Canary installation folder where extensions are installed:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Default\Extensions
2. in there, find the correct folder. the folder names are using the extension ID instead of a friendly name, to find the extension folder you want, go to
edge://extensions/
enable developer mode, click "details" on the extension you want to export and at the end you see the ID. use it to identify the correct folder.
3. once you've identified the folder, click on "pack extension" button in the same window
and in "Extension root directory" browse for the folder inside of the folder with ID.
so for example the folder I need to select for "Extension root directory" is this:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Default\Extensions\dmghijelimhndkbmpgbldicpogfkceaj\0.3.4_0
Not This:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Default\Extensions\dmghijelimhndkbmpgbldicpogfkceaj\
4. after that it creates a .CRX and .PEM file in the same directory.
5. use this website for easy CRX extract. it will give you extract files in a zip.
6. extract the contents of that zip in a folder.
7. go to "edge://extensions/"
8. click on "load unpacked" and browse for the folder where you extract the zip file.
That's it, your extension is installed and it doesn't matter anymore if it's removed from Google extension store. :)
