[FeatureReq - Partner Center] How does the featured extension selection system run

[sheepzh]

Hi, Edge Extension Team, I built an extension Time Tracker for Browser, which got both Featured by Chrome and Recommended by Firefix already. It conforms to all best practices for addons/extensions and has received near-perfect five-star ratings from users. It has even consistently ranked at the top of the Firefox top rated list.

I wonder how I can get the featured badge by Edge. It really confuses me.

Glad to receive your response~

Hello @sheepzh ,

Hope you are doing fine.
I am Venkat from Microsoft edge extension developer support team.

Thank you for your interest in the Featured badge on the Microsoft Edge Add-ons Store.

The Featured badge is awarded through an automated AI/ML-based evaluation process. This process considers several key criteria, including:

• Quality of the extension submission

• User experience and interface design

• Clarity and completeness of the store listing

• Performance and security impact

• User ratings and reviews

Adherence to Microsoft’s extension development best practices

Currently, there is no manual application or nomination process for the badge. Extensions that consistently meet high standards across these areas may automatically qualify and be awarded the badge over time.

We encourage you to continue refining and enhancing your extension to improve its visibility and impact.
