Where does the new Microsoft Edge (Chromium) install extensions on my Windows machine?

Where on my file system can I locate the extensions I have installed for the new Microsoft Edge? I'm looking at developing some extensions but I would love to know where Edge keeps them all.

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Profile 1\Extensions

%userprofile% = C:\Users\user name

Notice that profile 1 is the default profile but it could be changed from profile settings.

so if you didn't find profile 1, look for possible profile name you have changed to.

By default, We could visit the installed extensions from the following folder:

 %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions

or 

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions

[Note] The installed extension folder name might be is not the extension name, it is the extension ID property (Click the "Details" link in the installed Extensions (edge://extensions/)).

For example: Using the New Microsoft Edge install Edge Translate extension, the extension folder name is "bfdogplmndidlpjfhoijckpakkdjkkil".

enter image description here

[Note] If you are using Microsoft Edge Beta/Dev/Can version, the extensions folder path should be based on the Edge version, like this: 

 %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Beta\User Data\Default\Extensions

[Note] If you add multiple profiles, we could visit the extension from the related Profile folder, like this (the {number} starting from 1):

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Profile {number}\Extensions
