Browserling offers free online cross-browser testing in the Google Chrome browser. We have installed Google Chrome on our cloud servers and we stream the browser to you. You don't need to install any additional software as Browserling is powered by HTML5 and JavaScript. The Chrome browser runs on real computers and it's not a fake browser simulator or emulator.
We have installed every Chrome versions starting from Chrome 1 to Chrome 132 (currently the latest version). As Google has a consistent release schedule, we know about all future Chrome release dates. We have copied them to our calendar, and as soon as a new version is released, we get a reminder and install it on our cloud browser platform.

All other browsers, such as Firefox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Edge, Tor and other less-known browsers take the remaining 36%. To make really great websites and webapps, you have to make sure that your code works correctly in the Chrome browser.
Do you support Chrome extension testing?

What's the current Chrome market share?
As of February 2025, Google Chrome holds approximately 67.08% of the global browser market share, making it the most widely used web browser. Apple's Safari comes in second with around 17.95%, followed by Microsoft Edge at 5.2%.
How often is Chrome updated?
Google follows a rapid release cycle, with stable version updates typically rolling out every four weeks. The current version (February 2024) is 132 and later this month version 133 will be released. In addition to the stable version, Chrome has other update channels:
- Beta Channel – Updated every week, with major updates every four weeks. This channel is for testing new features before they go live.
- Dev Channel – Updated once or twice a week. This channel is more experimental but still relatively stable.
- Canary Channel – Bleeding-edge updates released multiple times a day with potential bugs.
What happens when a new Chrome version is released?
We add it ASAP! We get notified when a new Chrome version drops, and we install it on our platform so you can test right away.
What's the difference between Chrome and Chromium?
Chrome is the browser itself and Chromium is the name of the open-source project that is used to build the Chrome browser. Before Chromium is compiled into Chrome, Google adds a number of proprietary features, such as various video and audio formats (AAC, H265, MP3), automatic updates, and crash and error reporting.
What other browsers use the Chromium browser engine?
More and more browsers have given up on maintaining their own browser engines and have switched to the open-source Chromium project. Opera and Edge are the two of the biggest browsers that have switched.
Is the Chrome that you offer a browser emulator?
No, we don't run a Chrome browser emulator – we run a native Chrome that runs on a real computer. It's neither an emulator nor a simulator.
How do I open Chrome developer tools?
Just like in all other browsers, the default key to jump into developer tools is to press F12. You can also press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Option + I (Mac). Alternatively, you can right-click a DOM element and select Inspect from the mouse menu. This will also open the developer tools. If you prefer menus, click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner, go to More Tools - Developer Tools, and you're in!
When was Chrome version 100 released?
Google celebrated the 100th release of the Chrome browser on March 29, 2022. You can actually try it right now via our quick browsing URL: browserling.com/browse/chrome/100.
What is the earliest Chrome version?

What is the latest Chrome version?
Chrome updates frequently! As of February 2025, the latest stable Chrome version is 132, with version 133 expected later this month.
Which Chrome versions were skipped and why?
Google has skipped only one Chrome version number over all the years, which is Chrome 82. It was skipped due to the global pandemic disrupting release cycles. Google then jumped directly to Chrome 83.
What if Chrome crashes during testing?
It happens sometimes! If Chrome crashes in Browserling, just restart your session, and you'll be back up and running in seconds.
Can I test local files in Chrome with Browserling?
Not directly, but there's a workaround! You can upload your file to a temporary online storage site and open the link in Browserling.
Can you help us debug a Chrome problem?
We'd love to help! We've collected all available Chrome versions (from 1 to 116) and we've been following the development of the Chrome browser since day one (for over 10 years now). We know all the ins and outs of this browser. You can email us at hello@browserling.com and we'll help you with your Chrome problem.
Do you support headless Chrome testing?
Not yet, but we're working on it! Soon, we're launching Headless API that will let you automate and run tests in headless Chrome browsers.
I have an old computer, can I somehow still use a modern Chrome version?
You won't believe this but you can! We created a technology called Live API that lets you embed new browsers in old browsers (and also old browsers in new browsers). With Live API, you can put any modern Chrome version in any older browser.
