find this #375 , The test mentioned that gmail can be used normally, but the time at that time was 2021. I don’t know if Google’s policy has changed recently.

Yes, might be an upstream issue.

I found that a multilogin product also uses the Chromium browser and can use Gmail normally, but the browser version is obviously different. go-rod generates 114.0.5720.0 (developer build), that is chromium 120.0.6099.130 (official version)

Can go-rod also automatically download and use the official version of chromium?

I tried to compare the difference between chrome and chromium. It is obvious that chrome beats chromium in all aspects, so I have a question, why does go-rod not use chrome directly but choose to use chromium?

[ysmood]

yes, rod exposes all its low level methods, check https://github.com/go-rod/rod/blob/main/lib/launcher/browser.go

Because you can easily switch to chrome with rod, and the License of Chrome make it hard to choose it.
