  • Control which extensions can be manually installed by users;
  • Programmatically install Chrome extensions from CRX files;
  • Programmatically uninstall extensions that were installed from Chrome Web Store or CRX files;
  • Control which extensions can be manually uninstalled by users;
  • Get notifications when an extension is installed, updated, or uninstalled;

  • Simulate extension icon clicks and more.

You can read more about how to work with Chrome extensions in the Extensions guide.

WinUI 3

We added support of one more UI toolkit — WinUI 3 . Now, you can embed BrowserView into WinUI 3 applications and build modern desktop applications with a modern UI toolkit.

Here is how to create an example WinUI 3 application with BrowserView via the dotnet CLI:

dotnet new dotnetbrowser.winui.app -o Example.WinUi -li <your_license_key>
dotnet run --project Example.WinUi

The WinUI 3 implementation is available as DotNetBrowser.WinUi3 NuGet package and is not a part of the ZIP archives.

Obsolete API was removed

The API that was previously marked as obsolete in DotNetBrowser 2, is no longer available in 3.0.0.

Here is the list of the API removed and its replacements:

  • LoadUrlParameters.PostData, which is replaced with LoadUrlParameters.UploadData;
  • VerifyCertificateParameters.VerifyStatuses, which is replaced with VerifyCertificateParameters.VerifyErrors;
  • BinariesExtractionOptions.CheckLastModificationDate, which is replaced with BinariesExtractionOptions.VerificationLevel;
  • ISpellChecker.DictionaryNames, which is replaced by ISpellChecker.Languages.

The following properties were previously available in the IEngine interface, however, they were related to the default profile and marked as obsolete:

  • IEngine.CookieStore
  • IEngine.Downloads
  • IEngine.HttpCache
  • IEngine.Network
  • IEngine.Permissions
  • IEngine.Plugins
  • IEngine.Proxy
  • IEngine.SpellChecker
  • IEngine.ZoomLevels

These properties were removed from the IEngine interface, and now available in the default profile only. For example, if you were using engine.Network, you need to use engine.Profiles.Default.Network instead.
