Most extensions are published at the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website, to protect users from malicious extensions.
Publish options for extensions
All extensions are distributed to users as a special archive (.zip) file with a .crx suffix. An extension that's published at the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website is uploaded as a .zip file. The publishing process automatically converts the .zip file into a .crx file.
The following two scenarios don't require you to publish the extension at the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website:
- Using an unpacked extension directory on a local machine, when Microsoft Edge is in developer mode.
- An extension that's distributed by using Enterprise policy.
In both cases, Microsoft Edge periodically checks extension hosts for new versions of installed extensions, and automatically updates the extension without user intervention.
