Overview

The Chromium driver is an Appium driver intended for black-box automated testing of Chromium-based desktop browsers.

Target Platforms

The driver supports the following platforms as automation targets:

Platform	Supported
Google Chrome
Google Chrome (Android)	1

Technologies Used

The Chromium driver uses the W3C WebDriver protocol for session management. Under the hood, the driver relies on the appium-chromedriver package, which is a wrapper/proxy over Google's chromedriver and Microsoft's msedgedriver binaries.
