Extensions Badging on the Edge Add-Ons Store
Extensions have been contributing to making browsing on edge a delightful experience for users. The Edge addons store catalogue has grown to close to 11,000 add-ons and as we continue to grow, we want to evolve and be ready for scale. This means there is more hustle and competition for extensions discoverability in the marketplace. Thus, making sure we provide the best experience to both our users and developers becomes critical for us. Towards that end, we intend to ensure users can trust the extensions they are downloading on edge and we as a marketplace, surface high quality extensions to help them achieve this. We are planning to introduce extensions badging on EAS which will encourage developers to build extensions, keeping our best practices in mind. Leading to edge extension users getting the ease to differentiate and discover these quality extensions on EAS. The Edge Addons Store is starting its experiment with extensions badges soon. And we want to iteratively build this alongside our dev community. Edge is starting with a small-scale experiment and will begin to engage with the developer community to talk through the criterion and help them get acquainted with the badging process on EAS. Please look out for more details on the extensions badging experiment from Edge! What are our principles?
