Document browser choice accurately
What is happening?
The README > Supported version formats is unclear about which type of browser will be installed, depending on the default or the parameter passed through the chrome-version option.
There are three different browsers available for download from Google:
- Chromium
- Google Chrome
- Google Chrome for Testing
In CI build.yml, the following is observed for jobs using ubuntu-latest:
chrome-version |
browser chosen | browser expected |
|---|---|---|
"" |
Chrome for Testing | stable version of Chrome for Testing |
1295939 |
Chromium | Chromium |
120 |
Chrome for Testing | Chrome for Testing |
dev |
Chrome for Testing | Chrome |
latest |
Chromium | unclear |
The documentation implies that the release channel names stable (default), beta, dev and canary will install Google Chrome, not Google Chrome for Testing.
