Katalon 10.2.1 now using Chrome for Testing?

If Chrome for Testing is automatically upgraded by Katalon, it is no different from the ordinary Chrome browser.

However I may be wrong. See

Spy web not working correctly

Yes, I’m using the 137.0.7151.55 version. I went to the settings and followed the first workaround of the post that you have sent me. The spy web is working perfectly right now.

This post implied that Chrome browser 137.0.715.55 didn’t work OK with Katalon but the Chrome for Testing 137.0.715.55 did work OK. These 2 seemed to be not equivalent. — this is against my understanding. I don’t know what’s true.

<<8th June 2025, this issue of the Selenium project clearly explains how Chrome (branded) and Chrome for Testing differ.>>

I guess that Katalon introduced Chrome for Testing at KS v10.2.1 just to fix the problem of “Unable to update chrome drivers/tests running too fast after latest updating Chrome Version 137.0.7151.41”.

@mateusz.mysliwiec

there is no mention about that, can that be changed?

Possibly, Katalon thinks that the issue is a small issue; it isn’t worth mentioning in the release note.
