Hi Sabarirajan M,

I'm working on Blue Prism v7.1 where MV3 is already implemented.
I worked around this limitation by interacting with the browser through the Chrome DevTools Protocol using a library such as chrome-remote-interface
This is a NodeJS library which allows you to send JS snippets and other things from a command line interface, there's also python alternatives.

I launch Chrome with the following launch parameter: --remote-debugging-port=9222

I write my function to a file surrounded by the appropriate chrome-remote-interface commands:

const CDP = require('chrome-remote-interface');

CDP(async(client) => {
    const {Network, Page, Runtime} = client;
Runtime.evaluate({expression: `console.log(1);
console.log(2);`});
	client.close()
})

Then in the command line I execute this:

[path_to_nodeJS]\node --inspect=9222 [path_to_script]\script_name.js

For more information regarding the setup, installation and other commands you can reference the chrome-remote-interface documentation.

There may be a better solution around or in the near future, but this works for me.
Do note that by opening the remote-debugging-port on your chrome instance, any other application could access everything in your browser, so use it at your own risk.
