Question

Disable Developer mode extension notification - MS Edge

Hadzipasic, Edis 5

Hi,

we have used a self programmed extension in Google Chrome for a while and now we want to implement the same in Edge, the extension works fine only at every start comes this message:

(Developer mode extension notification)

User's image

We have tried different GPOs but unfortunately without success, Dev- and Canary Chanells aren´t used in the company.

Tried GPOs:

ExtensionInstallAllowlist

ExtensionInstallForcelist

Thanks in advance & best regards

Hi @Hadzipasic, Edis ,

Thanks for your response. As the answer below said, disabling the Developer Mode extension notification is not allowed for security reasons, and it does not appear only on Dev and Canary Channels.

Thanks for your understanding.

It is not allowed to not allow disabling the Developer Mode extension notification for security reasons.
That blasted thing gets on my nerves to the point I want to expertly disable that blasted nag by expertly killing the computer I am on.
Which is deemed, indeed so, a security risk!!!

So there.

Answer 2

Hi @Hadzipasic, Edis ,

According to the Developer mode extension notification - Microsoft Support, the Developer mode extension notification is not allowed to disable, because the warning popup is a security feature built into Edge browser to safeguard the users against malware and malicious add-ons.

Thanks for your understanding.
