Which version of Chrome supports ORTC? - webrtc

I heard Google is having plans to support ORTC standards from version 38 or 39, but haven't seen any confirmation on it.

https://bloggeek.me/google-roadmap-webrtc/
This was on the roadmap but did not happen.
Programmatically , you can check for the existence of the RTCRtpSender object. It's not there in the canary version (43 as of today) of chrome even.

How to setup Selenium 4 for old Chrome version?

By some project reasons I have to use Selenium 4 (4.0.0-rc3) and Chrome version 71.
Of course the current chromedriver (version 94) doesn't work with old chrome.
I have downloaded the source code of chromium project for debugging and try to understand how actually driver works with selenium. Probably I will try to make my own driver version but at this moment it seems like an inefficient solution.
I am really stuck with this and will be happy to get any advice.
Is it possible just to configure driver by capabilities (or any parameters) for working with old chrome?
The Chrome version you're targeting Chrome 71 is already deprecated. Using Selenium 4 with this much obsolete version of Chrome will not work and I think apart from creating your own code piece, there is nothing much you can do.
Using such an obsolete piece of software, in this age of internet, will open a pot of bugs for you, and if you use this to connect to internet, then chances are people may exploit any hidden security vulnerabilities to attack your application.
I would strongly suggest you to talk within your project team to use an updated version of Chrome.
ChromeDriver 2.46 will work with Chrome 71.

how to install sqlite manager addon in firefox quantum (browser version 57)

i tried to install sqlite manager addon in firefox but it showing me an error (your Firefox Quantum Browser isn't compatible )
my Firefox Browser version is 57.0.4
This extension depended upon the interface to sqlite engine embedded
in Firefox. As the interface has been removed in Firefox 57, this
extension no longer functions. However, the extension can be used on
ESR release of Firefox, which can be downloaded at
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/.
Stated on the addon itself. I myself pushed my firefox version back but have also been using DB Browser (http://sqlitebrowser.org/). As its not too bad i may upgrade back to the latest firefox!
Firefox Version Directory: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
Hopefully this may help someone fishing around.
You should install older versions of Firefox. Here is link
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
An easy work around to browser version issues is to install thunderbird 38 (if you don't use thunderbird for email) https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/ and then install SQLite manager as an extension to thunderbird. I don't use thunderbird for anything else so I set it to no update: options>advanced>update>never check for update.

Is there a way to permanently modify the user string agent (Chromium browser)?

I like to use the most up to date version of Chromium, Google's open-source version of Chrome. The problem I have about Chromium is that the userstring can always uniquely identify my system based on the version number (as not too many people keep up to date with the Chromium snapshots).
My question: is there a way to modify Chromium to always send out a DEFAULT user string agent (i.e. Chrome version 29 or Firefox 24, not Chrome 32)? Thanks for any help!
I think there is a command line option for that, e.g.
chromium-browser --user-agent="Chrome version 29"
For more details see this page: Chromium tips and tweaks.
(Note: I'm not sure if it will work in future versions)

Documentation confusion: what version of Firefox does Selenium support?

Looking at Platforms Supported by Selenium the highest version of selenium supported is v 10. I am assuming this is in line with 10 being the current extended support release, v17 is the next ESF, due out on 20 Nov 2012
Firefox extended suport
Firefox release calendar
However looking at the release notes for the Selenium client driver 2.25 (18 July 12) it says "Updated supported versions of Firefox to 17"
Which page should we read? How does the Platforms Supported by Selenium page relate to the 2.2.5 release?
You should refer to CHANGELOG. Thats always the latest. Seleniumhq.org gets updated by someone manually... Which is not happening regularly I guess.
I use selenium 2.25 and I had to download to Firefox version 14 in order to get selenium to work correctly.
Other people have documented this issue but I haven't found any resources that say what versions of Firefox are supported for each version of selenium.
selenium-firefox-driver 2.25.0 not working correctly with Firefox 15
Also if you are using selenium with your web browser you are going to have to turn off automatic updates on your browser to prevent it from updating.

Google Chrome Extension using WebNavigation API

I would like to known if the webNavigation API is still experimental, because I need to use chrome.experimental.webNavigation.onBeforeNavigate.addListener in a chrome extension. So far I found http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/trunk/webNavigation.html and http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/experimental.webNavigation.html - which one is valid?
webNavigation went stable in Chrome 16, which just landed minutes ago! http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/webNavigation.html
The webNavigation API is still experimental. The first link has /trunk/ in it which referes to the prerelease documentation matching Chrome Canary or Chromium. You can read more about the documentation versions here. It looks like Chrome 17 is the planned milestone for webNavigation but that could get pushed back.
