Description

Launch a new test session in any browser using the BrowserStack Quick Launch Extension. Select any combination from "All Devices" dropdown OR set up to 12 browsers for quick access under favourites and minimise the time spent in switching browsers. Review changes immediately and make cross-browser testing an integral part of development. To use the integration: 1. Install the extension. 2. Open the webpage you want to test and click on the BrowserStack logo on your extension toolbar. 3. Select the browser & device combination you want to test on. Your webpage will be launched in the combination selected. Test this webpage using BrowserStack’s Dev Tools, check page behavior in real user conditions and file bugs directly. NOTE: You need to have a BrowserStack account to use this Chrome extension. You can sign up from the extension or use this link: www.browserstack.com/users/sign_up

extension is quite confusing in some cases showing me the blank page(sometimes), clicking on extension landing me to browserstack site for login instead of showing me the on selected browsers, it should have proper communication as well that login is required to use the extension.

I didn't want or need this, I was forced to install it. I use BrowserStack as a web app, it does NOT require an extension to run. Terrible move to force paying users to install. As Marco Blum said below: "you can do directly to: https://live.browserstack.com/dashboard and bypass the need for the extension" It also appears if you click "Get Extension" and wait for a bit it will fail to detect the extension and a button will appear which will allow you to continue anyway.

do not force people to install extensions, an alternative way to do it is fine. but bruteforcing it like this, is a bad feeling. for anyone else looking, you can do directly to: https://live.browserstack.com/dashboard and bypass the need for the extension.

I don't want to have to download a chrome extension to keep using your services, the person who took this awful decision is actively trying to antagonize your userbase

Forcing an extension to be installed to continue using their service - great idea! Who approved this decision?

Unable to add browsers / devices to quicklaunch in Browserstack for a while, so this issue make this browser add on useless as the default browsers were not pertinent for me.

Disappointing. Installed it thinking it would be a quick way to launch BS and test any page. When I launch it from the page I want to test, it loads one of my other open tabs instead of the one I launched it from.

Doesn't works as expected. It just open BrowserStack website, and doesn't transport the requested URL

I have been in contact with support over the past 3 days because I can't get past the "Optimizing for Performance" step. Error: We could not connect to the remote device due to network conditions. Please try again. They had me try a few things with disabling chrome extensions but it didn't work. I tried the site with Firefox but Firefox flags the SSL as invalid and won't load the site. *Paid version; live Mobile local testing doesn't work but non-live testing does. However, the new phone versions are not available on the non-live test options.

Broken in Chrome 75

The local testing icon is showing red triangle all the time now. Clicking on it shows "Enable Local Testing". The button redirects to the "BrowserStack Local" extension page. There is no "Add to Chrome" button but only a "Launch App" button regardless to the fact of I haven't installed that extension. Clicking on the "Launch App" button redirects to browserstack.com. I reinstalled this extension and the local testing still doesn't work.

It would be really helpful if you could add other than chrome browser to quick launch. For example: I want to test my app on old Android 4.4 built in browser, but it always adds chrome to quick launch, even though I dragged it using samsung browser icon

BrowserStack is OK. I happily pay money for it, as it's certainly better than wrangling virtual machine images or maintaining a dusty shelf of devices. This extension has stopped working, though. When I click on a quick launch item, nothing happens. So I have to go to browserstack.com, and then manually navigate to the web page I want to test.
