Kavitha- josh_bodnerSure, 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/.- Hi Josh,

Is it possible to create my own WebDriver Testing Framework to communicate with Microsoft Edge?
Thanks and Regards,
