Momentic runs web tests on a Chromium-family browser. Pick one based on the features your app needs, then set it project-wide or override it per test.

​
Supported browsers

  • Chromium (default): the browser installed for the standard test setup.
  • Google Chrome: use it when the app requires Chrome-specific behavior or media support unavailable in the installed Chromium build.
  • Chrome for Testing. Maintained by Google specifically for automation.

​
Choosing a browser

Set a project-wide default in momentic.config.yaml:
momentic.config.yaml
Individual tests override the default from Test options in the editor. See browser.defaultBrowserType for the full list of accepted values. For tests that need a Chrome extension, use Chromium and configure an unpacked extension directory. See Load Chrome extensions for local and CI setup.

​
Runtime overrides

Momentic overrides these browser defaults for consistent results: Set browser.userAgent: null in your config to disable the user agent override and use the browser’s native user agent instead.
