Why does a banner appear in Chrome when using newer version of Studio?

  1. Reason behind the banner:
  • The reason behind the appearance of pop-up is due to a difference in the extension that is being used. i.e older extension version follows MV2 and the newer version is MV3. The new MV3 extension uses Debugger API (as mentioned Noticeable differences between UiPath MV2 vs MV3 Extensions ) to follow the standards defined by the manifest version 3 and as well as make sure the backward compatibility is maintained.
  1. How to avoid or hide the banner:
  • ​​​​​​​Starting from UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities 21.11.x (for example, 22.4.3), the banner is made hidden.
    • For lower versions, it can be hide by appending --silent-debugger-extension-api argument value while launching the Chrome browser via Start Process activity "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --silent-debugger-extension-api
