modcore develops two different versions of the modcore Extension Manager:
Open-Source Version - available on GitHub
Store Version - available in the Microsoft Edge Add-ons Store
In some cases, both versions share the same codebase. However, modcore may also develop different code for each version depending on stability and release readiness.
The Store Version only includes the "most" stable releases.
The Open-Source Version follows a slightly different process:
Beta versions are first released on Patreon.
After the beta phase, the code is published on GitHub.
modcore may implement different features across the two versions. We aim to remain as transparent as possible about these differences.
This means:
Feature availability may vary between versions
Version numbers and release timing may differ
Each release submitted to an add-on store undergoes a review process.
As a result, updates for the Store Version may be delayed compared to the Open-Source Version.
modcore does not collect any user data in either version of the modcore Extension Manager.
However, please note:
If you download the extension from an add-on store, the store itself may collect certain data and provide analytics to developers.
modcore does not collect, store, or process any personal data.
