Hi Edge extensions team,
I'd like to introduce WebBrain, an AI-powered browser agent extension we recently published on Microsoft Edge Add-ons, and ask about merchandising opportunities.
What WebBrain does
WebBrain turns Edge into an active assistant. Instead of manually clicking through repetitive workflows, users describe what they want and WebBrain executes it on real websites — reading pages, filling forms, navigating dashboards, summarizing content, and automating multi-step tasks — using the user's existing logged-in browser session.
Main use cases
Permissions and access
WebBrain requires access to all websites the user navigates to (it acts as a general-purpose browser agent), the user's authenticated sessions on those sites (GitHub, Gmail, Google Workspace, Notion, Stripe, banking, internal tools, etc.), and
chrome.storage/chrome.permissionsto persist user preferences and per-site allow/deny lists. No background data exfiltration — all actions are visible to the user and require explicit confirmation for sensitive operations (payments, deletions, public posts).Question for the team
Chrome Web Store has a "Featured" badge and "Editors' Picks" collection curated by their editors, and they accept nominations through their One Stop Support form. I noticed Microsoft Edge Add-ons doesn't appear to have a public nomination/merchandising process — is there an equivalent? Specifically:
Happy to share more details, screenshots, or a demo link if helpful. Thanks for your time!
