Supported browsers
- Chromium (default). Fast and lightweight, but missing some features of full Chrome (e.g. H.264 video playback). May be unstable on graphics-heavy sites.
- Google Chrome. Full-featured Chrome with H.264, media streaming, WebGL. Heavier and slower than Chromium.
- Chrome for Testing. Chrome for Testing is maintained by Google specifically for automation.
