Great little project! A small suggestion. I've done a bit of testing and if you copy the application executable for either MS Edge or Brave Browser into C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application and rename the executable file for each to chrome.exe. WRP runs fine. This implies that the requirement for Chrome isn't explicit to Chrome/Chromium but is for any Chromium browser engine.
I was hoping you might consider implementing a change to project so that either there is a broader list of pre-defined paths to scan for the .exe (i.e. Add the Edge and Brave paths) or, preferably, add a environment variable / command line argument / ini file config line to specify the path to the browser.
This would change the requirement to install Chrome or Chromium into a requirement to install any Chromium based browser. It would also mean that it could work straight out of the box on every Windows install that ships with Edge; no other depenencies required.
Equally, if the user doesn't want to use Google Chrome, then they don't have to.
Hi thank you! Yes thats a very good suggestion. This aspect is controlled by the chromedp library I'm using (https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp). I will take a look to see if the browser location can somehow be passed on to chromedp context.

Equally, if the user doesn't want to use Google Chrome, then they don't have to.
e.g.
wrp-386-windows.exe -b "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"
wrp-386-windows.exe -b "C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe"
-or-
set chromepath = C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe
wrp-386-windows.exe
Here the executable uses the value of %chromepath% to locate the browser.
-or-
Add a wrp.ini file to the file set and make chromePath a configurable option in here.
