Microsoft wants to improve Edge extensions by bringing them to the Windows 11 Microsoft Store as a unified download place

One of the improvements that Microsoft announced when it presented Windows 11 is related to the Application Store or what is the same, Microsoft Store. A tool that needs an urgent fix to mitigate all the shortcomings it suffers from and the first step is coming in the form of a unification to get hold of Edge extensions

And the fact is that the Microsoft Store will be the place where developers will be able to publish their extensions for the new Chromium-based Edge, extensions that They have been quite a challenge for years.In fact, this will be the way to get an extension and thus improve the user experience when using web browsing in Windows 11.

A single unloading point

The change that comes with the App Store for Windows 11 is logical. Group in the same point all the extensions that we can download and install in Edge In Windows 10, Windows 7 and other operating systems it is necessary to access the add-ons store based on the Microsoft website.

An attempt to correct the lack of homogeneity of the store compared to what the competition does offer.

For now what is not known is how the process will be to migrate the downloads from the extension store to the Microsoft Store, since Microsoft will not remove them from the store Add-on The reason is that this is the only valid method for users using Edge on Windows 7, Linux, or macOS.

In this way and, although Microsoft's idea is good, for now and until they solve this problem, we find how the extensions are available from two different pointsdepending on the operating system we are using.

You have to remember that the new Microsoft Store that is coming will allow all kinds of applications and games and also will be open to any technology: PWA, Win32 or UPWIn addition, they offer the possibility for developers to integrate their own payment gateways. In this way, they will be able to take 100% of the income from their applications and Microsoft will not take anything, unlike other application stores.
