Browsers Menu

The Select Browser sub-menu provides an option for changing the default Fiddler's browser from Google Chrome to other third-party Chromium browsers.

  • The Automatically detect path to Google Chrome option finds and uses the Google Chrome for the independent browser capturing mode.

  • The Path to Browser option allows you to change the default browser by setting a path to a different Chromium browser. Fiddler Everywhere supports most Chromium-based browsers (like Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, etc.).

The Browser Data sub-menu provides an option for choosing whether the independent browser capturing mode should always use a clean instance or an instance that persists the input data.

  • The Use clean instance option instructs Fiddler to always use a new clean instance for the independent browser capturing mode. No data persists when reusing the capturing mode.

  • The Persist data in a specific directory option allows you to set a custom directory to persist input data and settings for the independent browser capturing mode.

The following figure displays the default settings of the Browsers menu.
