Hi support, I know this came up some time ago but for the life of me could not locate the forum thread. Is there any movement on the ability to add proxy capability to the msedge website session type? Chrome works for us but we see a tremendous speed improvement with the msedge through WebView but unfortunately, we need to pipe all of our secessions through a proxy.

Hello,
We could add a setting to pass it to as an additional setting. Do you think it will work?

David,
I read through this and I'm assuming you're asking if you added some field where we could pass "options.AdditionalBrowserArguments" to the session instance as an "additional arguments" field. Yes, I think we can try it, I'd be willing to work with your team to test at least the proxy function.

Hi Eric,
Great, I've created a new feature request.
We will add the field [Additional Browser Arguments] this will allow you to test --proxy-server and/or --proxy-pac-url.
Once we have a confirmation for you which one works correctly, we will add a dedicated proxy field in the UI.
Best regards,

Hi Eric,
The field has been added and will be available in the next release (next few days).
Tested and worked for me on my setup. Please let me know if it works for you.
Best regards,
Stéfane Lavergne

We have been testing this and it works very well! the added arguments also lets us access other chromium switches which could be helpful in the future as well!
