Selenium edge driver cannot go to extension page

Question

I'm using Selenium 4 to do some automation and currently we just use it on chrome driver. I'm adding support for edge and got to that problem. (Using C#)

On chrome I can go to a extension settings page by doing:

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("chrome-extension://<extensionId>/html/settings.html");

With that I can go to the settings page of my extension on chrome. However when I try the same code on edge (with the correct edge extension path) it doesn't work but when I copy and paste it directly to the browser and press enter it goes fine. Do anyone have any input?

edgeDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("extension://<extensionId>/html/settings.html");

You should use

edgeDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("chrome-extension://<extensionId>/html/settings.html");

So, you should replace extension with chrome-extension in your URL
