Frequently Asked Questions

Why are we updating now?

We’ve completed major improvements to our browser infrastructure and test reliability, allowing us to finalize the update to Chrome 141 as the default browser version.

How can I switch to Chrome 141?

  • New organizations are set to Chrome 141 automatically.
  • Existing organizations can have their administrators switch the “Latest Chrome Version” to Chrome 141 in the organization settings at any time.

Switch the default “Latest Chrome Version” in organization settings

What happens to my baselines?

When you run tests in Chrome 141, a new baseline will be created automatically.

If you’d like to keep your existing baseline when upgrading to a new browser version:

  1. Go to your organization settings. Settings can be changed by administrators.
  2. Enable the “Preserve Baseline” option.

If you prefer to refresh your baseline with the new browser version:

  1. Leave “Preserve Baseline” unchecked.
  2. Run your tests again — new baselines will be generated for Chrome 141.

This provides flexibility for verifying visual differences safely during the transition.

If you’ve already run your test in the new browser and a new baseline was created, you can simply delete all results generated with that version. Your previous baseline will then be restored automatically.

After that, you can rerun your tests using the same steps above with the “Preserve Baseline” setting.

What should I do if I encounter issues?

If you notice any unexpected behavior or visual differences in Chrome 141, you can switch back to Chrome 114 in your organization settings and let us know — we’ll be happy to discuss and assist.

When will Chrome 114 be removed?

Chrome 114 will remain available for the foreseeable future. It now runs on updated infrastructure and newer hardware, which may result in subtle differences in behavior or rendering compared to the previous environment.

We plan to keep supporting Chrome 114 to provide additional flexibility during the transition, while Chrome 141 remains the recommended version for all new tests.

If any major issues arise, we will allow temporary rollbacks while implementing fixes.
