Why is Microsoft so slow in approving extensions? #46

Still a serious issue. The Edge Extension store is the slowest by a country mile of all the other Stores (Chrome, Mozilla, WinGet, and even the non-extension Microsoft Store). I'm sure it has a lot fewer submissions to deal with than Google. I can't justify encouraging users to use the Edge Store version of my app, when they will get updates a lot faster if they simply go and install it from the Chrome Store. If Microsoft wants to compete seriously with Chrome, this is a funny way of going about it. MS should be nimbler, faster, offer tangible benefits over Chrome if it wants users to switch to Edge. |

It still took 5 days the last time I submitted my Clone in VS Code extension update back in July. Others approve within 24 hours. Sorry but 5 days is way too long to get an extension approved. |

Same for my extension. It takes less than a day to publish update to Chrome\Firefox and around 5 days to publish same update to Edge store. Why so slow? |

For me, 5 days is a luxury. It has been 14 business days without any response, and I can no longer bear it.😅 |

@ManikanthMSFT there has been no improvement to the review time. The portal still says 7 business days needed. Why did you close this discussion as resolved? |

Does Microsoft really need 7 days to review an extension? I had submitted my extension to all browser extension stores on the same day and Google, Mozilla, Apple and Opera all approved it within a day. The only store where it hasn't been approved yet is the Edge extension store due to their long review times.
This is the second time I've submitted my extension for review, since my first one required more info in the review notes (I'll admit that was my fault for not giving enough info). The first one took 7 days to review, and I'm still waiting for the review team to take a look at my second one. Disappointed with the process so far.
