HTTP / HTTPS / SOCKS Proxy for Chrome/Edge

About

I understand from your workaround comment posted here that you are not interested in enabling "special chrome options" besides what's necessary for RPA.

Yet there are a number of users (myself included) where proxying requests are a necessary step in automation of browsers:

• https://github.com/kelaberetiv/TagUI/issues/162
• https://github.com/kelaberetiv/TagUI/issues/1124
• https://github.com/kelaberetiv/TagUI/issues/1193
• https://github.com/tebelorg/RPA-Python/issues/395
• https://github.com/tebelorg/RPA-Python/issues/377
• https://github.com/tebelorg/RPA-Python/issues/312
• https://github.com/tebelorg/RPA-Python/issues/97

I believe the only workaround for this use-case is what you've already shared (make changes within this codebase), but editing source code directly may not be feasible for all situations.

Would you consider a PR that would enable this use-case or is there no interest here?

Hi @austin-millan thanks for raising this, our team has reviewed internally and there's no plans to include this feature at the moment due to the following reasons:

1. low impact to majority of user base
2. there are easy to implement workarounds
