The ‘Clear before typing’ is natural with this method, since does not empty the target element field by default. ![]() It allows sending hotkeys directly to the browser. This means that, besides the automation that worked with Simulate, a lot more is available now through the ChromiumAPI. The ChromiumAPI sends trusted events triggers, which are the exact chain of events triggered when a human does the same action. ChromiumAPI vs Simulate Improved efficiency It works while the browser is minimized and another tab is focused (mind that the modern activities tend to activate the working tab). The Chromium API does not have this requirement. Hardware events need the elements to be on the screen, focused, in the foreground. In conclusion, directly communicating with the browser via this new method means fewer communication channels, thus improved automation reliability. Therefore, this input method eliminates a communication channel that can fail (as any other communication channel). Sending keys/mouse input via ChromiumAPI means sending them directly to the browser. From there, the events are forwarded to the target application, the browser in our case, which parses them and sends them further to the web pages. Sending keys/mouse input via hardware events means sending them to the operating system’s mouse/keyboard input stream.

As you might have read here, we have added a new browser automation input method along to the existing ones (Hardware Events, Simulate and SendWindowMessage), named ChromiumAPI.
