HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
Setting this policy controls extension management settings for Microsoft Edge, including any controlled by existing extension-related policies. This policy supersedes any legacy policies that might be set. This policy maps an extension ID or an update URL to its specific setting only. A default configuration can be set for the special ID "*", which applies to all extensions without a custom configuration in this policy. With an update URL, configuration applies to extensions with the exact update URL stated in the extension manifest. If the 'override_update_url' flag is set to true, the extension is installed and updated using the update URL specified in the 'ExtensionInstallForcelist' (Control which extensions are installed silently) policy or in 'update_url' field in this policy. The flag 'override_update_url' is ignored if the 'update_url' is the Edge Add-ons website update URL. For more details, check out the detailed guide to ExtensionSettings policy available at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2161555. To block extensions from a particular third party store, you only need to block the update_url for that store. For example, if you want to block extensions from Chrome Web Store, you can use the following JSON. {"update_url:https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx":{"installation_mode":"blocked"}} Note that you can still use 'ExtensionInstallForcelist' and 'ExtensionInstallAllowlist' (Allow specific extensions to be installed) to allow / force install specific extensions even if the store is blocked using the JSON in the previous example. If the 'sidebar_auto_open_blocked' flag is set to true in an extension's configuration, the hub-app (sidebar app) corresponding to the specified extension will be prevented from automatically opening. On Windows instances, apps and extensions from outside the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website can only be forced installed if the instance is joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain or joined to Microsoft Azure Active Directory®`. On macOS instances, apps and extensions from outside the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website can only be force installed if the instance is managed via MDM, joined to a domain via MCX.
