Chrome or Edge Chromium

[MaxMcConchie]

Hi,

Our organisation is moving away from IE, leaving Chrome and Edge Chromium as the official preferred browsers.
I was wondering if anyone had experience with automating in Chrome vs. Edge Chromium and if there are any benefits with one over the other? 

Thanks

Max,

As your Chrome version updates, you'll want to make sure your browser extension is upgrading as well. Also, we've noticed some issues with spying in chrome in accessibility mode. On desktops, it'll pull the UIA Automation ID but on some servers, it will not. We've engaged support about this but have not gotten a resolution as of yet. Here is a thread about it, https://community.blueprism.com/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?GroupId=145&MessageKey=06e55e8b-4370-4f67-86d0-667c9821b84c&CommunityKey=3743dbaa-6766-4a4d-b7ed-9a98b6b1dd01&tab=dig...

Other than that, your plan is sound to migrate over since support for IE is ending.
