Drag and drop chrome extensions
QueenNini Thanks for letting us know. I've looped in our Extensions product team and will let you know if they have any insights or additional questions.

Deleted Thank you very much. It was quite a surprise when I was unable to add extensions.

QueenNini Our devs had some follow-up questions for you. To clarify: are you having trouble installing theme extensions normally or just installing via sideloading? And can you share more details about the process (are you using “load unpacked”?) and which specific themes aren’t working?
Thanks,

Deleted I used the CRX extension from the Chrome store since Edge Beta is not compatible with Chrome themes. That was suggested in this community as an alternative for more themes than just light and dark. I don't use the load unpacked. What I do is:
1. go to the chrome store and go to themes.
2. Pick a theme and get the CRX code since I have the extension.
3. Save the CRX file.
4. Drag and drop the file.
When I try to do the drag and drop, there is a message with the circle with a line through it and the themes don't apply to browser.
