Does Google Chrome work with Selenium IDE (as Firefox does)? [closed]

I can't find an equivalent of Selenium IDE that works with Chrome.

Does anyone know how to use Selenium IDE with Chrome instead of Firefox? Or is there an alternative tool which works with Chrome?

Is Selenium IDE only for Firefox?

Selenium IDE has add-ons for Firefox and Chrome browsers. Selenium IDE comes with a rich set of commands that are powered by Selenese and it allows you to record and test different interactions of a web application with the browser.

Which browser is not supported by Selenium IDE?

The main limitation of Selenium IDE is that, it supported in only Firefox browser. If you want to execute your scripts on different browsers, then you can use Selenium RC (Selenium Remote Control). The Selenium RC supports multiple browsers like IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera etc.

Browsers supported by selenium are: Google chrome, Internet explorer 7 onwards, Safari, Opera, Firefox.

Is Firefox or Chrome better for Selenium?

Since both browsers work with Selenium IDE, you can select the browser based on the visitors to the website you are developing. If most of the traffic comes from Chrome, which is mostly the case, then using Chrome is the best option. All in all, what you are aiming for is a quick way to improve the testing process.

artejera, do you mean Selenium as plugin to your browser (Selenium IDE)? Here is something for automation in Google Chrome.

But if you want to work with Selenium RC, just set up browser in your test script. There is setBrowser() method in Selenium.

you can use Google chrome extensions like imacros, scirocco on chrome 21 or later versions. they are similar to selenium IDE for Firefox. Scirocco seems to be new with some limitations like navigation is not supported. So, I recommend 'imacros', seems very close to selenium.
