NewUserMode() does not work with the latest version of chrome >= 136

[andrew-field]

Rod Version: v0.116.2

With previous versions of Chrome, the following code opened up Chrome with the correct current user session, with the correct extensions etc.

func main() {
	wsURL := launcher.NewUserMode().Bin("/run/current-system/sw/bin/google-chrome-stable").MustLaunch()

        browser := rod.New().ControlURL(wsURL).MustConnect().NoDefaultDevice()

        browser.MustPage().MustNavigate("https://www.wikipedia.org/")
}

Using a recent version of Chrome causes the code to crash with the error:

panic: [launcher] Failed to get the debug url: 
        DevTools remote debugging requires a non-default data directory. Specify this using --user-data-dir.

exit status 2

This is almost certainly to do with: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/remote-debugging-port

Furthermore, giving a user data directory like the following:

func main() {
	wsURL := launcher.NewUserMode().Bin("/run/current-system/sw/bin/google-chrome-stable").UserDataDir("./chrome-user-data").MustLaunch()

        browser := rod.New().ControlURL(wsURL).MustConnect().NoDefaultDevice()

        browser.MustPage().MustNavigate("https://www.wikipedia.org/")
}

causes the browser to load but the point of NewUserMode is now in conflict with a blank user data directory.

Copying the user's data directory, in my case "/home/andrew/.config/google-chrome/Default" to the program folder, renaming it to "chrome-user-data" and running the above code again yields the same result. The browser loads (with headless as false) but does not seem to load with the user session/settings e.g. no extensions.

me too, chrome will init new user data. even I set UserDataDir
