Hello everyone,
I’ve noticed that a banner keeps appearing frequently in both Edge and Chrome. While there doesn’t seem to be a technical issue, the banner blocks part of the browser window and reappears after being closed.
Since this occurs in both browsers, it’s becoming a bit disruptive. Any idea if this can be turned off somehow. I know disabling the extension works but I want to keep the extension enabled and disable this popup.
This is expected behavior when UiPath Browser Automation attaches to Chrome/Edge via DevTools. The banner is browser-generated.
navigate to Home → Tools → UiPath Extensions → (Change from current user to) Group Policy Online.
This appears while developing or debugging from the Studio.

Also this one.
By installing the extension using a group policy, you can eliminate that popup notification.
If helpful, mark as solution. Happy automation with UiPath
Thank you for your replies. It looks like changing the extension to group policy can not be done without admin rights. I understand this is a workaround but this banner is annoying and should be fixed at the extension level itself in upcoming updates.
its a chrome based feature and not controlled by UiPath..details are below
note: its for both studio and studio web
yes installing with group policy needs admin rights as it is not at user level but machine level
cheers

This banner is expected behavior. It appears when UiPath Browser Automation attaches to the browser for debugging/automation, especially while Studio is open or a project is running.
Unfortunately, there’s no supported setting to disable only this banner while keeping the extension enabled. Closing it is temporary, and it will reappear whenever UiPath reconnects to the browser.
The only ways to stop it are:
Thank you, this really helps understand the backend behaviour. I’m wondering why the other extensions are not showing such banner! For e.g. Blue Prism and power platform or even google and adobe extension.
specifically UiPath uses chrome.debugger that might not be the case with other tools
its would be good to check in the respective documentation or forums
cheers
Thank you for sharing the details
