Microsoft Edge Add-ons

Microsoft add-on store via Partner Center — free unlimited, no dev fee

Microsoft Edge Add-ons

Role

Distribution channel for every oriz-*-ext extension on Microsoft Edge — separate listing from the Chrome Web Store even though Edge will side-install extensions sourced from CWS. The native Edge listing is what shows up in Edge’s in-browser add-ons surface and what Microsoft promotes to its user base.

Free tier

Unlimited submissions and unlimited published versions.
No developer-registration fee for the Edge Add-ons program specifically (distinct from the Microsoft Store / Windows Store $19 individual / $99 company fee — those apply to packaged Win32/UWP apps, not browser extensions).
No review fee, no per-install fee.

Card / subscription required?

NO. Microsoft Partner Center for Edge Add-ons requires only a Microsoft account; no payment method on file at any stage.

CI auto-publish

The same .zip produced by web-ext for AMO is submitted to the Edge Add-ons partner-center API from GitHub Actions:

- name: Submit to Edge Add-ons
  uses: wdzeng/edge-addon@v2
  with:
    product-id: ${{ secrets.EDGE_PRODUCT_ID }}
    zip-path: dist/extension.zip
    client-id: ${{ secrets.EDGE_CLIENT_ID }}
    api-key: ${{ secrets.EDGE_API_KEY }}

The action wraps Microsoft’s Edge Add-ons API. Credentials in Doppler → GitHub Secrets.

Alternatives

Chrome Web Store — sibling, covers Edge via cross-browser install. This native Edge listing is complementary, not redundant.
Firefox Add-ons (AMO) — sibling, free.

Swap cost

Low — the action is per-store. Dropping the Edge step removes one job; the artifact and manifest stay untouched.

Why this is our pick

Edge ships pre-installed on every modern Windows machine. Even though most users will install our extensions via the Chrome Web Store on Edge, a native Edge Add-ons listing is what surfaces in Edge’s promoted-extensions UI, in Microsoft’s editorial picks, and in Bing search. Free + no card means the cost is purely the CI step.
