Hello Insider community,

We're thrilled to announce that the redesigned Microsoft Edge Add-ons website is now available to all users. The redesign addresses several key concerns highlighted by users around discovery and usability of the platform.

Philosophy

With this redesign, our goal was to completely transform the user journey. To help users easily discover and find extensions for their needs, we’ve introduced a carefully curated storefront with an array of inviting new collections. The search page was also redesigned to offer more insights into the search results while significantly improving navigation.

Emphasis on first-time users

Considering the unique needs of the first-time extension users, enhancements were introduced to the store as well as the extensions manager page in the browser for increased hand holding.

Accessibility

Just like the Microsoft Edge browser, we have significantly improved accessibility for the website. Be it high contrast or narrator, the improved website is re-designed to be more accessible.

Summary

We’re continuing to learn and grow – and this is just the beginning. In the next few months, extension developers will also get an improved and simplified experience at the Partner Center to better manage their extensions.

Thank you for all the feedback and we'd love to hear what you think of the re-designed store. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or by submitting feedback through the browser (Shift+Alt+I).
