Windows Store censoring Edge extensions?
I want to make this clear - I'm not complaining about a specific category of extensions or recommending them as it is against the rules.
However if you search for "ublock origin" in the store it finds nothing.
It obviously does exist as the link is mentioned by every Windows website in the world (and it works) so why is the store blocking it?
If they censor this then what else?

I think it's in Beta right now and this is a preview.
From developers site:
Note: This port of uBlock Origin to Microsoft Edge is in early development
While most of the code in this extension is shared with upstream, the platform layer is not finished and there is no guarantee of stability, performance, or complete feature parity until the extension is published on the Microsoft Store.
InstallationYou can download a Preview Release from the Microsoft Store.
To install beta releases directly from GitHub, you will need to side-load the extension:
- Download the latest release from the Releases page
- Extract the zip file somewhere safe (it will need to remain there as long as you use the extension)
- Browse to about:flags in Edge and turn on the option Enable extension developer features
- Restart your browser
- Go to Extensions in the browser menu and click Load extension
- Select the uBlock0.edge folder you extracted earlier
