How to close Specific tab on Edge Browser programmatically?

Question

Hi All,&nbsp;We were previously using Internet Explorer and now planning to support Microsoft Edge.&nbsp;We have .NET 4.8 based desktop application that launches Internet explorer and closes it by process Id. But we are not able to achieve the same flow using Microsoft Edge.We understand that the architecture is different for Internet explorer and Edge. Edge uses a multi-processor architecture and killing the browser/tab instance doesn't work by killing the processId of the window/tab.&nbsp;We need to close a specific tab programmatically (c#).&nbsp;Kindly suggest an approach to close specific tab on Edge Browser programmatically.&nbsp;Thanks &amp; Regards,&nbsp;Kavitha&nbsp;

We do expose tab management functionality through various APIs like Web Driver and extensions, so adding that for your application to call may be one way of achieving that.

In order to interact with your existing application, this is something that would have to be custom written for your environment.

Sure, you can use the public Chromium extension documentation at https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/getstarted/ and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Your_first_WebExtension if you want to go the extension route.  If you want to use web driver, you can use our documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webdriver-chromium/?tabs=c-sharp or the official Web Driver documentation at https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/getting_started/.
