Shared by Ines • December 26, 2025

Test failures just got easier to understand.

We've refined when screenshots are captured (before or after actions, depending on their nature) and introduced visual bounding boxes that highlight exactly which element the runner interacted with.

What this means for you:

★ No more guessing what went wrong.

★ Bounding boxes, which are configurable in advanced settings, show you the runner's decision-making process, making debugging significantly clearer and faster.

We've rolled out new Browserless locations, fully owned and operated by Thunders.

This means complete control over infrastructure, scaling, and maintenance, delivering tangible improvements where they matter most.

What this means for you:

★ More stable test execution

★ Faster response times

★ Reduced costs through optimized infrastructure

We've simplified IP whitelisting by reducing the number of addresses per location, while keeping legacy locations active to ensure a smooth transition for teams with existing configurations.
