Group Policy for Microsoft Edge extensions

How can I configure my group policy, to forcefully install a specific extension to MS Edge on client machines?

Now that Edge is starting to support more extensions, and better ones, this is becoming a valid option for secure browsing. If I want to allow my users to use Edge, I would expect them all to have required security extensions – e.g. ad blocker (specifically I like uBlock origin, but there are others), and any other required extension…

As far as i'm aware, Edge extensions are installed through the Windows Store. Therefor any extensions you need to install you would need to follow the same steps as distributing any other Windows Store app.

If you use System Center Configuration Manager you can do this fairly easily: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/apps/deploy-use/manage-apps-from-the-windows-store-for-business
