  • Users must manually install the Blue Prism Chrome extension from the Chrome store to be able to use the Microsoft Edge Chromium-based browser supported by Blue Prism 6.8 onwards.
  • For applications and websites using Firefox version 74 or later, the Firefox browser extension must be installed manually.
