Does anyone know whether Driver exe for New Microsoft Chromium Edge Available ?
If Yes, please share link.
Thanks.
Yes, it can be found here:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/#downloads
It's version 75 but I've been testing it out and it works fine with Edge 76. Make sure that you have the correct Edge executable on your path depending on whether you have Dev or Canary.
Dev:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\
Canary:
C:\Users\boni\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application\
There's a bit more info on my other answer:
I wouldn't recommend testing Canary, as it's unstable and it changes so fast, maintaining results will not be fun. I'm testing Dev and I'll switch to Beta when that's released.
Just a point regarding Dmitri's answer about market shares:
While accurate, they are global figures, so may be entirely irrelevant to what you're testing. If for example you're developing web applications for businesses, it's not unusual to find that the vast majority of your users are on IE or Edge, because companies have policies about only using Microsoft browsers. Sometimes this is about perceived security, but more often than not, it's about supporting legacy systems and documents, which can only be viewed in IE or chromium Edge's IE mode.
I would not go for automation till official release of the EdgeChromium-based browser from Microsoft, moreover looking into current browser market share I don't think you should be investing any efforts into it.
Chrome 61.75%
Safari 15.12%
Firefox 4.92%
UC Browser 4.22%
Opera 3.15%
IE 2.8%
Edge 2.15%
Others 5.89%
Just in case if you still want to assess the EdgeChromium automation the driver is available since 24th of April 2019 at normal Edge Driver downloads page

I am writing to ask about --disable-features=SameSiteByDefaultCookies feature which was part of chrome earlier.
I am working with IT MNC and recently we promoted very important functionality to Production. We have started charging customer for this. It is legacy application .
This application can't be tested locally anymore! Earlier we could point out application to lower environment with custom settings in project's config.js file and disabling #same-site-by-default-cookies in Chrome and application could be tested locally. But now we can't!
We tried many different settings and debugged but it could not help !!
It is noted that these settings no longer work in Chrome 94+. These flags are removed entirely.
As per my analysis it is found that application still can be tested locally if we get the portable Chrome. Or older version of Chrome installed in our System. However as per the compliance policy of company and client, we can't get old or portable chrome in system. We have latest version only.
Earlier we used to perform following to run it locally:
Open CMD
cd to Chrome path ( Till Application )
Fire the following command:
chrome.exe --disable-web-security --user-data-dir=C:\XXXX\XXXX\localwlp --disable-features=SameSiteByDefaultCookies"
This would open a new window of Chrome ( Close all before firing the command) and then we could test the application locally.
Anybody is aware about the alternative for this? That would be really helpful. We can't test the application locally so for even small changes, we require to deploy on lower environments which takes a lot of time and also code will work or not can't say.
I look forward to hearing from you all guys.
Thanks,

I'm developing with MONGODB service & Express server running and React app compiling on my Windows 10 with 4GB RAM (HDD).
These are my optimization setups to improve my hardware performance, I guess some of them are now automatically revised by Windows itself.
My virtualization is enabled.
Most tips on https://youtu.be/nVy4GAtkh7Q including to Disable Privacy Settings, High Performance Power Settings and to Disable Indexing, excluding to Disable Firewall and the execution of any program.
I have used: https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking
I'm now using Opera since it's more lighter than Chrome.
I'm disabling Windows Defender while my local servers are running.
Setups that I'm not preferred to use:
Not preferred to use Chrome 'cause my React app's tab is sometimes freezing.
Not to debloat Windows with https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10 since it have a possibility to mess up something.
Not to permanently deactivate Windows Defender.
Not to disable Opera hardware acceleration 'cause the 3D graphics without acceleration is like in slow mo.
Current issues:
Opera is sometimes crashing (still better than freezing).
VS Code still experiencing lag.
Is there anything that I can do to improve the performance of my 4GB (HDD) hardware (while I'm in short to buy a powerful hardware)? Is there a recommended setup for MERN stack development?
I've been trying to get Internet Explorer 11 to run under Protractor to complete a suite of tests I have for an new AngularJS project.
I'm running under Windows 7 - 64 Bit and have downloaded and installed the Selenium IEDriverServer.exe for 64 Bit.
When I go to launch Protractor and run the scenarios, Internet Explorer comes up and navigates to the page just fine, but when the scenario sends keys to an input field it is extremely slow, like about 15 seconds between each key press. And Selenium is not showing any type of exception being thrown.
Has anyone seen this behavior before and found a solution?
Thanks
It's a known bug or "issue" (not a bug within the IEDriver however):
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=3072 (references IE10 but the point & solution is the same fundamentally)
It is explained in the Selenium issue tracker, but the workaround will be to use the 32bit version of the driver. Realistically you don't get "much" from using the explicit 64bit version.
I'd also say you may have further problems with IE11. Selenium doesn't support IE11 fully yet.
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=6437#c7 (among other issues)
You are probably, long term, better off downgrading to IE10 and using the 32bit driver.
For one of the customers of my company, I have to get Gears working. To explain briefly, they have a site using the Gears local database and now want to really use localStorage (at least for browsers supporting it and still use Gears for the old ones).
To refactor the code and ensure that the HTML5 version works as the Gears version used to work (and that I do not break the existing system is also a plus). And here comes the problem: Gears is not supported anymore and seems unable to install.
My dev' machine is using OSX Snow leopard. I tried the Gears custom installer made by the authors of MailPlane (http://mailplaneapp.com/download/google_gears/) to enable gears on Safari. The installer runs without any issue and I have a "Google Gears settings" entry in Safari's menu. But the code does not work, here's the console output for the database creation code:
> google.gears.factory.create('beta.desktop')
Error
line: 2
message: "'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'google.gears.factory.create('beta.desktop')')"
sourceId: 419639712
__proto__: Error
(this is the code I got from the customer).
In the console, when I try accessing the Gears factory, I just get a simple html object:
> google.gears.factory
<object style="display: none; " width="0" height="0" type="application/x-googlegears"></object>
In Gears preferencies, there's a site of sites for which I can allow Gears to run, but I can't add localhost there (I can't add anything in fact).
As I can't get Safari/Gears working, I decided to setup a WinXP virtual machine, maybe it would work here.
I was able to download the Gears installer. But this one needs file that have been removed from Google servers (at least I guess, but I don't have any firewall installed so I don't see what could block the installer when getting the files ...).
I also tried old Chrome installers (apparently Gears was shipped in Chrome 12-) but none of the installers work (they just, well, do nothing. I even tried to start them from the command line to expect a bit of output but I got nothing).
Another option would be to get a Firefox gears add-on, but they all seem to have disappeared :/
So, the question (finally): does anyone here still have to use Gears and how do you get it running on new machines ?
Cheers,
Vincent
I think The Google Gears API is no longer available.
Please see https://developers.google.com/gears/ page.

I'm having Internet Explorer 6 problems on one of my sites, and I really wish I had it installed instead of Internet Explorer 7. Is there a quick way to do this?
Download Microsoft VirtualPC. Then download any of the files in Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image. The second download contains four VHD (virtual hard drive) files which have:
XP SP2
IE 7
XP SP3
IE 6, IE 8 Beta 2
Vista SP1
IE 7
Multiple IE:
It is possible to run Internet Explorer in standalone mode without having to over-write previous versions thanks to Joe Maddalone who came up with a way of achieving that in November 2003. Basically, Internet Explorer is run by exploiting a known workaround to DLL hell - which was introduced in Windows 2000 and later versions - called DLL redirection.
Manfred Staudinger perfected the standalone versions by adding IE version numbers to the title bar of the standalone browser window. Moreover, by removing the "IE" key in the registry subkey [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version Vector] Internet Explore defaulted to respecting conditional comments based on the version number prebuilt in the program.
It is not difficult to follow the instructions and get any version of IE running in standalone along side other versions. Most of you probably know of evolt's archive of Internet Explorer which has them readily packaged in ZIP files. Now suppose you want to download them all. An installer that would conveniently automate the whole process would be great. Thanks to this comment for the idea.
So I made an installer which contains IE3 IE4.01 IE5 IE5.5 and IE6...
Download Virtual PC and set up a bunch of them for testing with various browsers/OS's. Once set up, this makes it trivial to test on IE6,7 and 8, various Firefox flavours, Konqueror, Opera, Safari, etc...
See Samuel's answer for a helpful VPC image in getting this started:
I recommend always testing your sites using BrowserShots. You can see how your site looks across multiple browsers, with multiple versions, on multiple operating systems. You can do something like 50 tests a day on their free service.
Also check out IETester, which gives you 5.5, 6, 7, 8b2 in one app.
Litmus is another BrowserShots-esque service.
This works fine for me: Multiple IE
Edit: looks like the minute it took me to find the URL was enough for 3 people to beat me to it..wow
IETester is pretty good, compare IE5.5/IE6/IE7/IE8 side by side.
