On cypress IDE I can't choose another browser except than 'Electron'. I would like to choose Chrome browser. Before it was possible to choose. But now it is impossible. How can I fix issue?
Thanks in advance for your help
As per the official documentation "Cypress automatically detects available browsers on your OS" (https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/launching-browsers#Browsers).
On linux, I would also recommend to use .deb files to install the browsers, using flatpak didn't work for me.
Windows and macos is the same, just make sure to have it installed.
I would also recommend checking the following:
Cypress 5.0 - Unable to find installed browsers

So i'm trying to find a good way of testing the Safari web browser. I've been looking at kubernetes which seems like a good fit for most browser testing for browsers such as Chrome or Firefox with Selenoid or Moon. Safari is a different beast however. It seems like you need to install the entire OS just to test the browser. So what would be a good solution to this? Should i even bother with a cluster?
No you cannot install safari in container.
Safari can be installed only on MacOS, but unfortunately, you cannot run full OS in a container.
Even if you could, I could not help you because MacOS is a proprietary software and macos licence doesn't allow for installing macOS on devices other then Apple's.
I am learning to build a web application for Hbbtv using the Hbbtv SDK.
So for testing a sample app, I was looking for an emulator and came across FireHbbtv Extension by firefox.
However, whatever I do, it says the extension is not compatible with the version of Firefox. can any of you help with what is happening
Firehbbtv extension is abandoned, but you can install it using an old Firefox version (<52 as far I remember). Make sure the automatic updates are disabled if you want to keep the extension available.
There is another HbbTV plugin named hybridTV (https://github.com/karl-rousseau/HybridTvViewer) It works fine, but it is in development.
There is also a third option, using the opera (now called vewd) SDK. You can find the info and the virtual machine downloads visiting

I'm Looking for a method to launch chrome app from Microsoft Win PE.
Is it chrome supported that feature.
There is no installer for WinPE you need a portable version of a browser. I've tried the portable version of Chrome but couldn't get it to run in WinPE. The only browser I've ever seen work in WinPE is an old portable version of FireFox.
If you want to try to get it to work here's the link
https://portableapps.com
In theory it should work but I can't tell what dependencies it needs as there's no error message. The portable apps are x86 so you have use WinPE_x86.
I need to check a website on different chrome versions and I am trying to do it on the same machine. I don't know if this is still possible now or not. I know it was before from older questions such as here.
So my questions if it is possible how to install different version of chrome on the same computer ?
The only way to do is to use the unofficial !! portable chrome version.
To bypasse this you can use Browserling extention to performe your browser compatibility tests.
You could download an older version of Chromium from:
https://vikyd.github.io/download-chromium-history-version/
They can be installed alongside a regular Chrome.
I am trying to run a Mono application on the Mac that has an embedded web browser control. The program runs, but now broswser is show and a message is output:
libgluezilla not found. To have webbrowser support, you need libgluezilla installed
I have searched, but have no idea how to install this. Your guidance would be appreciated.
You cannot use the embedded web browser control on Mac. Hence, there is no libgluezilla for Mac.
It worked in 2.4.2 of mono, but not with the latest patch. ( 2.4.2.1 )
I am loosing patience with mono on mac platforms. Things used to work and then stop working, creating a bugzilla entry gets no responses at times.
