extensions in edge insider
4 TopicsDisable Edge disabling unverified extensions
TL:DR How do I reenable unverified extensions for development, after disabling through "Disable unverified extensions in Developer Mode" notification? Switching to Beta or Dev insider channel didn't help. Hello, I wanna learn about browser extension development, which ofc requires Developer Mode being on. Because unverified extensions can be malicious, you can't make the "Turn off unverified extensions in Developer Mode" notification stop appearing, and so I chose to just let it have its way to leave me alone. Inconvenient mistake. Doing this disables any unverified extensions that I sideload (as the notification says), so I asked CoPilot for help. CoPilot said I could enable the extensions again using either the Edge Dev or Canary channel, so I tried the Beta and Dev channel. Beta with and Dev both with and without importing my data from the normal Edge browser, but neither did anything, since all unverified extensions are still disabled, even when I enable them in the "Manage extensions" page. Is there some way to actually turn off the security disabling, in the Insider channels (Beta, Dev and Canary)? I really want to continue learning about extension development, so it's a little inconvenient that the unverified extensions don't feel like being enabled ever again, even when they're my own.226Views0likes0CommentsExtension loads late in Edge
I noticed in my Edge browser (ver. 87.0.664.75) that upon browser startup, the extensions loads late. But when I update my browser to version 88.0.705.50, it works fine and the extensions runs on startup. I would like to know what may caused this bug and what upgrade/fixes are made on the latest version that may have caused the fix on this bug? Thanks for answering!992Views0likes1CommentHow Will Extensions Update On Chromium based Edge?
How will extensions for this browser update? The process not listed in any documents on the insider website and there are no posts in the forums discussing the topic that I have been able to find. For UWP Edge (what I'm calling Edge that ships with Windows OS), since the extensions are through the store app, they're updated there. But, although Chomium Edge (Insider x64 Edge) uses the same extensions (not counting google store here), they aren't updated through the store app because they're downloaded through the browser. So I would like to know how updates will function to extensions for this browser moving forward. An example is my Last Pass extension on UWP Edge just received an update to version 4.27.0 through the store. However, the Last Pass extension on Chromium Edge is still on 4.26.0 even though they should be the same extension. I'm not sure how to check for any update, since there's no button anywhere and no documentation telling me that it would otherwise be automatic. An interesting sidenote (not necessarily related but may be nice to know for any extension devs who wander across this post) is that under the about section for the LastPass extension on UWP Edge the first line says "LastPass Edge Toolbar", but on Chromium Edge the wording is "LastPass Chrome Toolbar". Odd since it was downloaded through the official Edge store, could just be something in their code that looks for Chromium and then changes the wording appropriately. If I look on the Google Chrome Extension Store for the Chrome extension (which I haven't installed on this browser) it's on version 4.27.1. So even if the extension thinks it's running on Chrome it hasn't automatically updated itself to the chrome version.4.5KViews4likes9Comments
