Easy Cross Browser Testing with LambdaTest Screenshots Chrome Extension

Introduced in 2010, google chrome store has more than 50,000 chrome extensions. One of the main reasons behind the popularity and increased use of chrome extensions is the ease to use an extension. Just a simple install and you now have otherwise complex functionalities available with a single click.

To make browser compatibility testing of web apps and websites a little bit easier and faster, we decided to launch LambdaTest cross browser testing screenshot plugin to Chrome marketplace.

With LambdaTest Chrome Extension, you can easily generate screenshots of the page that you have opened, directly by just selecting just the browser combinations. That’s what you can call Cross Browser Testing made super easy!

All you have to do is to just select the browser combinations (max. upto 25 at a time) and just click on the capture and you’ll find screenshots across various browsers without even going on to LambdaTest platform.

How LambdaTest Screenshots Chrome Extension Works?

After you create an account (if you already have one, the steps are already less for you), just go to chrome web store and search for LambdaTest Screenshots, or you can use the direct link for Chrome Extension: LambdaTest Screenshots

Just ‘Add to Chrome’ like you do for any extension. And you’re all set to use it.

You’ll find it, on the top right corner in your chrome browser.

Where can I find my access key?

The other way around to avoid this login process is to go the LambdaTest dashboard after installing the LambdaTest chrome extension and to reload the page. This way your access key will be automatically configured to the extension.

You don’t even need to enter the URL for which you want to take screenshots, it automatically takes the URL on which you have opened the extension (we are not restricting you, you can also enter manually though!).Just select the configurations (you can select from a wide range of Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge, Safari browsers) and click on Capture.
