Currently we are in this weird spot where Selenium has incorporated ShadowDom support but drivers like chromedriver aren't using it yet. Normally I'd be patient for this stuff, but with the latest Chromedriver version 96.0.4664 I noticed how the existing javascript workaround for shadowDoms doesn't work anymore.

Using the line "return arguments[0].shadowRoot;" in an IJavascriptExecutor is now returning a Dictionary<string, string> instead of the IWebElement it had been a few days ago. I'm still trying to play around to see how I can get around this, but in the meantime has anyone else seen this issue? And if so, have you discovered a workaround yet?
