I could be wrong, but I would bet money that the reason TestComplete does not work with Chrome 113 is not due to any technical issues with the latest version of Chrome. Instead, it is probably a simple licensing issue. I'll explain.

 

Smartbear wants people to pay for licensing and support and they want people to use the latest version of their software. To help ensure this happens, they probably have a single line of code that says something like this:

If ChromeVersion > 112 Then
    Chrome not supported
else
    Chrome is supported
End If

 

If you need support for later versions of Chrome (which everybody does) then you must install a newer version of TestComplete where they changed that one line of code to support the newer version. This ensures people keep paying for support and using the latest version.
