“Chrome for Testing” Browser Option

We released a new browser option called Chrome for Testing. This is a special build of Chrome provided by Google specifically for automation and testing purposes. When selecting Chrome for Testing, you can choose between two versioning strategies:

Labels – Select from dynamic channels like Canary, Dev, Beta, Stable, or go back to previous stable versions using labels like Stable-1, Stable-2, etc.
Fixed Versions – Lock your environment to a specific major version, such as 114.0 or 115.0, with the latest patch from that major line automatically selected.

Labels Mode

Choose from Chrome's official release channels or past Stable versions using simple labels:

Canary → bleeding-edge daily builds.
Dev → developer preview.
Beta → release candidate builds.
Stable → latest stable version.
Stable-N → rollback to previous stable versions (e.g., Stable-2).

Label Mode Examples

Label	Mapped Version
Canary	117.0.5857.2
Dev	116.0.5845.4
Beta	115.0.5790.56
Stable	114.0.5735.133
Stable-1	113.0.5672.92

Example:

If the current Stable is 114.0.5735.133, then:

Stable = 114.0
Stable-1 = 113.0
Stable-2 = 112.0

…and so on.

Fixed Version Mode

Select a specific major version (e.g., 114.0, 115.0, etc.), and the latest patch in that line is automatically used (e.g., 114.0 resolves to 114.0.5735.133).

Fixed Version Mode Examples

Fixed Version	Resolved Version
114.0	114.0.5735.133
115.0	115.0.5790.56
116.0	116.0.5845.4
117.0	117.0.5857.2

Note: Only the latest available patch for each major version is used.

Warning: While using the latest versions (e.g., Canary or Dev) can help test cutting-edge features, they are also more likely to introduce bugs, regressions, or changes that haven't yet been fully tracked or stabilized. For more reliable and predictable automation, we recommend using Stable or a specific fixed version unless early testing is required.
