Error for HTTP websites on Chromium 130

Browsers have adopted a secure model by default. Thus, the latest browsers prefer an HTTPS connection over an HTTP connection. In recent updates, below error occurs on launching HTTP websites with Chromium based browsers in incognito mode.

Consequently, playback with Sahi Pro on HTTP websites (not HTTPS websites) gets aborted in Google Chrome version 130 and Microsoft Edge version 130.

Follow below steps to fix it.


Step 1: Disable HTTPS-First Mode in Incognito

For Google Chrome:

a) Take a backup of <Sahi Pro>/config/chrome_profile_template/Local State file.

b) Empty the file content. Add below line and save the file.

  {"browser":{"enabled_labs_experiments":["https-upgrades@2","https-first-mode-incognito@2"]}}

For Microsoft Edge:
a) Take a backup of <Sahi Pro>/config/edge_profile_template/Local State file.

b) Empty the file content. Add below line and save the file.

  {"browser":{"enabled_labs_experiments":["edge-rounded-containers@2", "https-upgrades@2", "https-first-mode-incognito@2"]}}


For Brave:

a) Take a backup of <Sahi Pro>/config/brave_profile_template/Local State file.

b) Empty the file content. Add below line and save the file.

  {"brave":{"dont_ask_for_crash_reporting":true,"Brave.Core.CrashReportsEnabled":{"sent":false,"value":"0"}, "p3a":{"enabled":false}},"browser":{"enabled_labs_experiments":["brave-tor-windows-https-only@2","https-by-default@2","https-first-mode-incognito@2"]}}

Step 2: Regenerate browser profiles in Sahi Pro

a) Delete the <Sahi Pro>/userdata/browser directory.

b) Restart Sahi Pro and check.


This fix will be present in the future releases of Sahi Pro. Feel free to reach our Support team for further information.
