Bot attach in Chrome open by user

During the execution of the bot, the bot uses a Google Chrome session opened by the user. With that, the bot does not need to open an instance and be login, among other uses. For example, in the Process, it would be possible to reuse the chrome opened by another instance.

    Support to attach the bot to an opened browser for attended automation is planned.

    We plan to support this feature for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox.

    This functionality is crucial for us. We've resorted to alternative solutions because it hasn't been implemented yet. Do you have any updates?

    Comments from TTIA:

    Connect to existing chrome browser. This only works with IE. All chrome browsers are shutdown when script. Would be very helpful since you can continue working on a browser session that is already logged in to systems and some activities are already performed
