You can configure a Full Page Check (FPC) to use one of several available browsers. The Browser type setting can be found in both the Main and Advanced tabs of the monitor settings. The following browsers are available:
- Chrome with extra metrics
- Chrome standard
- Microsoft Edge
Uptrends keeps the browsers up to date on the checkpoints, so your check will typically be executed in the latest version available for the selected browser.
