EdgeDriver (v81) no longer supports ability to pass in DriverService as a parameter
Hello Since Edge has been upgraded to v80, it has introduced a "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webdriver-chromium?tabs=c-sharp" to our automation. This is documented by Microsoft in the attached link. Ideally I would have liked to remain on Selenium 3 and use the https://github.com/microsoft/edge-selenium-tools but given that my framework is java based that was not an option. To resolve this, then, I updated to Selenium 4 (alpha 5), which supports v81 of Edge Chromium, but only to an extent. The ability to pass in ChromiumEdgeDriverService/EdgeDriverService (not sure which I should even be using now) as a parameter to the EdgeDriver WebDriver has been https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-edge-driver/latest/org/openqa/selenium/edge/package-summary.html. This is something I rely on to implement a workaround for downloads in headless mode and so I am eager to restore that functionality ASAP. I am not sure if this is something I should be reporting to https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/new/choose as an improvement or regression, or something I should be raising with yourselves but I am looking for some guidance on what I should do in this instance. Thank you Mark

https auto upgrade/https only (like Firefox's one)
I just want to ask a feature, the feature is juste like the one Firefox is adding to Firefox the mode https upgrade or https only (directly built into the browser with a parameter), like that we don't have to rely on extension who maintain a list of our browser habits. thanks
