[FIXED] Legacy Edge extensions on Windows store after installing the new Edge
Today I came across this extension when browsing Windows store https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9P59WXTBHZZM I could install it without any issue but the thing is it doesn't work when I have the Stable version of Chromium based Edge installed. clicking "launch" opens the new Edge only, nothing else happens. I think the proper way to handle this situation is to either hide these extensions from Windows store once the new Edge is installed, OR show a message to user that: "it's not compatible with the current installed version of Edge browser". My suggestion is to add the new Chromium based Add-ons to the Windows store to be easily available and installed by users. https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/
Allowing Chromium based apps in Windows Store
Does this mean that UWP apps can now use either oldEdge or Chromium based browsing and be allowed in the store? Currently the ToS for the Windows Store state that you can only distribute apps that use Edge for any browsing. This would be a huge game changer for the Windows Store. Apps based on Electron would be eligible for the Windows Store, and though not UWP apps, would allow for a lot of apps that currently have to be downloaded from a webpage to be managed in the Windows Store app.
