[FeatureReq] Get rid of this message popping up every 2 weeks.

[khulpu-1]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always frustrated when this annoying popup shows up bimonthly and sometimes not paying attention, I hit the wrong button. I sometimes use extensions from GitHub, I understand it's a safety concern but some users know their way around and don't need excessive babysitting.

Describe the solution you'd like After showing up the first time (for each sideloaded extension), this pop-up allow you to dismiss it for ever.

Pop-ups are very annoying.

Chrome tries to minimize unnecessary message interruptions to users(most edge developers are experts), which is great and worth learning.

Hi @kakuiho @khulpu-1

I am Rahul from the Microsoft Edge Extensions Developer Support team.

Apologies for the delayed response. We've received an update from our internal team stating that this pop-up was added to notify users about the risk of running sideloaded extensions and appears in this cadence for Edge Stable.

It today cannot be permanently dismissed until you turn your sideloaded extensions off within stable.

We are trying to relax the cadence of this pop-up, it currently auto dismisses to show up on every browser restart.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hello Rahul,

I think permanently dismissing isnt necessarily a bad option. Users who enable developer options are tech savvy to know the risks they are taking. With that being said, if removing isn't possible, at least relax the cadence of the pop-up to 6 months. It's fair.

Thanks.
