There is a new Extensions Menu available in the latest Microsoft Edge Insider Dev build. As noted in a post by Bleeping Computer, this new extensions menu can currently only be enabled for the Edge Insider Dev browser.

The new menu allows you to see all of your installed Edge extensions within a dedicated menu. The new menu can be accessed by clicking the Extensions icon in the Edge Dev toolbar. After you enable the secret extensions menu, you should be able to view your extensions like the image below.
