Mobile version Google Chrome on PC (for developers) - browser

Could you suggest how best to test the site for Google Chrome mobile version...? I know that Opera Mobile and Mozilla Firefox are emulators for the desktop, but I have not seen this for Chrome. Maybe I'm just looking bad?
for example:
Mozilla Firefox - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/ (fennec)
Opera - http://www.opera.com/developer/tools/mobile/

Pretty old question but in case someone else hit it in future;
Best solution i found is this;
https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging?hl=tr
And the best part is, its working!
PS: If "adv devices" command doesn't work make sure that you have the USB driver for your phone is installed on your PC.

Google Chrome Canary can be a better replacement for this purpose. I use Chrome Canary for testing purpose.

Audio chat using webrtc in safari browser?

I was searching for some solution for audio chat between two users in safari browser Using WEBRTC(Peer js). I have found some solutions using temasys plugins , but they only work for local streaming.
Is there someway in safari browser.
Yes, you can use Temasys plugin for Mac OSX safari and IE. I have used temasys successfully for these browsers on a live site though there are random issues sometimes. And now, I think peerjs supports Temasys integration also.
Things are about to change.
Apple announced support for WebRTC in Safari 11.
You can download the latest beta version of Safari 11 at the following link:

FIDO U2F tokens Web Browsers compatibilty

I'm trying to integrate U2F Authentication in GWT project and I need to know if is this solution compatible with all new web browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari...)? Normally in Google Chrome I've to install a plugin that's called "FIDO U2F (Universal 2nd Factor) extension".
Is the same for others browsers?
Is there any way to work without a plugin for new web browser?
Do other browsers support U2F? currently not.
Is there any way to work without a plugin for a new web browser? No, that's the whole point of U2F: a phishing attack is made impossible thanks to direct communication with the browser.
Extra information
You had to install a plugin in Chrome in the past, currently (I think starting from version 40), this is not required anymore: U2F capability is built in from that version on in Chrome. As to which other browsers support U2F: currently none. Firefox supports U2F via the U2F Support Add-on, and is working on supporting U2F natively.
Microsoft reportedly will include FIDO support in Windows 10. It might be possible that browsers will rely on the OS-U2F-check then, and do not (need to) include FIDO support directly anymore. However, this is speculation only for the moment.
An easy compatibility check I'd like to carry out is to use the Yubikey's demo site.. It will be reported immediately when your browser does not support U2F (try opening the demosite in Firefox and see what happens).
Yes, it is an old thread, but let's make an update:
2016 September update : FIDO U2F browser support
Chrome for Windows, OS X and Linux: Yes (Built-in)
Chrome for Android [for FIDO U2F over NFC and over BLE devices]: Yes (You still have to download the official Google Authenticator App but this requirement will disappear in the future)
Firefox: Devs are now officially working on it. Mozilla Foundation joined the FIDO Alliance. For now, while waiting for the official built-in support, you can use this great addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/u2f-support-add-on/ (It won't work on websites that do not know Firefox can be used too...)
Safari, Internet Explorer and Edge: No U2F support is even planned, but who cares anyway... :)
Just for the record: Opera Public Beta (v41) has U2F built-in support too. The next stable release should support FIDO U2F too.
Google Chrome: out-the-box since Chrome 41 (no extension required) https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6103523?hl=en
Internet Explorer: "in development" https://dev.modern.ie/platform/status/fido20webapis/
Mozilla Firefox: popular feature request https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1065729
It isn't specifically true that browsers can't add compatibility via extensions as per Michael's post, the issue isn't that it's secure because the browser "directly communicates" - USB can be sniffed so U2F isn't secure in that sense, which is precisely why it has defences against replay attacks.
The issue relates to browsers not generally having support internally to directly talk to USB devices - or more usefully for extensions to do that (but that would throw up other unrelated security concerns). It's perfectly plausible for a piece of software to act as an intermediary for an extension and pass on authentication events to a FIDO device; I've investigated the possibility and it absolutely would work without harming the security of U2F itself - native browser support would be preferable though.

AT-SPI for Google Chrome in Linux

I have been finding the way to get the urls of opened tabs of the browsers of Firefox and Chrome using Accessibiltiy.
I found that Firefox can get the urls using at-spi, but Chrome can get the url of focused tab a few months ago.
I have gotten a new result recently during the test. It is that I cannot access the child of Chrome using Accessibility, so I don't even know the url of focused tab.
"atspi_accessible_get_child_count" returns 0.
But as I said earlier, it worked on Chrome 31 version.
According to Assistive technology support, there are not tools to test accessibility in Linux.
Chrome does not support Accessibility anymore?
There is the answer in Chrome Accessibility.
That says accessibility of Chromium on desktop Linux is not really supported currently.
You need to start Chrome like this:
ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1 chrome --force-renderer-accessibility
Both of these are necessary. For electron apps, ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1 seems to be enough, at least that was the case with VSCodium and Signal Desktop.
On Windows, this is not necessary because a11y enables itself once a known screen reader is detected (afaik), but Orca under Linux is apparently not known.

Opening app from different android Browser

Till now I have been using the default browser with my Samsung Galaxy S2. When Browsing if I found and clicked on a link that was from Wikipedia or IMDB for instance it would ask and give the choice if I wanted to open them in the "Internet" Browser or the installed IMDB/Wikipedia App. I have since tried other Browser Apps. (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera etc) and none of these appear to pop up with the option to open them in an app. They go straight to the website. The only app I have found that does offer the choice is Chrome, but it seems to crash a bit too often. Am just wondering if I am missing something in the the other browsers I have looked at. I like Dolphin and Firefox, but would like to see them offer the option to open sites in installed apps. Is there options to get them to do this? Thanks!
It is because those browsers (Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera) you have tested at the end of 2012 don't support or have problems with calling external intents.
Here is the issue about implementation that feature on Firefox.

How to test my application on older version of IE?

I have installed IE8 on my system. I usually test my application on this browser, but the problem arises when i got to know that the client is using IE7. Now how can i test my application on IE7?
One possible solution is to have dual booting on my system. So on version of Windows i can have IE7 and on another i can have IE8. But i really don't want to use this solution.
Another possible solution is to use PC Emulator [ Don't know what is this, just heard about these ]. Using which i can have multiple IE version simultaneously. Have you ever tried this solution? Please name any good FREE emulator.
Please let me know if there is any other better solution.
you can use
http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
and here can you see all browser versions as picture
http://browsershots.org/
I got the solution. :)
In IE8, click on Tools > Developer Tools | or press F12
Then in developer Tools > select the browser mode [ available: IE7, IE8, IE8 with compatibility view ]
This is what i was expecting. :)
Microsoft provides a free set of Windows Virtual PC images for testing various versions of IE on various Windows service packs.
Virtual PC is also free.
Have you ever seen Microsoft Expression Web tool? It contains kick-ass tool for testing pages in various versions of IE - SuperPreview. And this tool also available free, you can download it here.
It's much more easy to use it instead of Virtual PC images. But it can't replace VPC completely because testing in clear environment is also very important.
This is a quick and easy web service solution, good for quick testing.
