Microsoft Rewards, I cannot recommend a extensions that disabled with a warning message in current edge under Windows 11 24h2, by default its disabled if this and edge is made by Microsoft then why has this been disabled? the warning reads, "This extension has been turned off to protect your browser settings.". then a links to (Learn more) as to why they have disabled it. Maybe, its being overprotective, or I am not sure why Microsoft would disable their own extensions, and not even try to fix it, instead, it kind of bugs me, in any case, that should not happen with windows software I would say. https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2113618

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Microsoft Rewards requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

Microsoft Rewards has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
