CrossBrowserTesting Local Connection lets you test locally, behind a firewall, or across a proxy in 1500+ real desktop and mobile browsers. Quickly jump into a Live Testing session or take screenshots of the web page you’re on to find and debug issues in seconds.

To begin using the extension, simply install and click the icon while on the page you’d like to test. To use Local Connection, go to the CrossBrowserTesting app and follow the instruction to install the Local App: https://help.crossbrowsertesting.com/local-connection/general/using-chrome-tunnel-app/
