How are extension uninstallations measured?

[Olivier Beaulieu]

Hello!

I am working on an extension that can be installed from the Webstore, but also can be sideloaded via registry keys in some other scenarios. (https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/external_extensions#registry)

We are trying to make sense of our uninstallation metrics that are presented in the webstore extension managements dashboard.

There are 2 questions we have not managed to answer with the available documentation:

1) Sideloading via registry keys will present the user with a prompt asking to confirm the sideloading. If the user refuses the sideloading on this prompt, will this be tracked as an uninstall in the developer dashboard's graphs?

2) Is there a way to differentiate an extension removal done with regular extension removal VS. refusing the sideload?

Thanks!
