Website Crawler Now Works Without Chrome

Great news! The Website Crawler feature in Shotomatic 1.3.3 now works completely independently without requiring Chrome browser installation.

What's Changed

🚀 No Chrome Required – Built-in browser technology handles all captures
⚡ Instant Setup – Start capturing websites immediately after installation
🎯 Better Reliability – Consistent rendering across all machines
📦 Smaller Dependencies – One less external requirement to manage

Technical Details

Previously, the Website Crawler relied on your system's Chrome installation for capturing websites. Now, Shotomatic includes its own embedded browser engine, providing:

• Consistent Rendering – Same capture results on every machine
• Version Control – No compatibility issues with Chrome updates
• Portable Installation – Works on systems without Chrome
• Reduced Conflicts – No interference with your browser extensions or settings

Who Benefits

• Safari/Firefox Users – No need to install Chrome just for screenshots
• Minimalists – Keep your system clean with fewer dependencies

How It Works

The Website Crawler now uses an embedded Chromium instance that's:

• Optimized for screenshot capture
• Isolated from your browsing data
• Automatically managed by Shotomatic
• Updated with each app release

Backward Compatibility

All your existing Website Crawler workflows continue to work exactly as before – just faster and more reliably!

Update to version 1.3.3 to experience the improved Website Crawler today.
