Sideloading on Edge

Please make available the ABP .appx file for those who can't or don't want to use the Windows Store.

Do you mean computers in organizations that block access to the Store via Group Policy, or in countries that block it via network filtering? Those are the only cases I can think of where Edge can take extensions and yet the Store is unavailable.

Please add Edge to the development page so we can get .appx files.

I would like to install AdBlock plus on Edge browser, but I found that the only supported way is via Windows Store.
To use Windows Store I need some Microsoft account, which I definitely do not want to have.
Which means I cen not install AdBlock plus.
Please, make it available for download so that I can bypass the Windows Store.
This is a PC, not an Android phone.

The closest thing available is this Edge port of uBlock Origin (which doesn't work as well as the Chrome version, for the same reason ABP for Edge doesn't work as well as ABP for Chrome): https://github.com/nikrolls/uBlock-Edge/releases
