Where does the new Microsoft Edge (Chromium) install extensions on my Windows machine?

Where on my file system can I locate the extensions I have installed for the new Microsoft Edge? I'm looking at developing some extensions but I would love to know where Edge keeps them all.

Solution

  • By default, We could visit the installed extensions from the following folder:

     %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions

    or 

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions

    [Note] The installed extension folder name might be is not the extension name, it is the extension ID property (Click the "Details" link in the installed Extensions (edge://extensions/)).

    For example: Using the New Microsoft Edge install Edge Translate extension, the extension folder name is "bfdogplmndidlpjfhoijckpakkdjkkil".

    [Note] If you are using Microsoft Edge Beta/Dev/Can version, the extensions folder path should be based on the Edge version, like this: 

     %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Beta\User Data\Default\Extensions

    [Note] If you add multiple profiles, we could visit the extension from the related Profile folder, like this (the {number} starting from 1):

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Profile {number}\Extensions
