Article Summary
The Whatfix Store is a Chrome Store-like repository for Chrome and Edge (Chromium) extensions to reduce the time to update content to a few minutes as opposed to a few days when using the Chrome Store. The Whatfix Store extension when generated can be deployed and installed for both the Chrome and Edge (Chromium) browsers.your title goes here
