GBrowser is a plugin for JetBrains IDEs that adds the GBrowser tool window, an embedded Chromium browser.

## Requirements

* The current version, 2026.3.1, works with JetBrains IDEs 2026.3: builds 263.3889 to 263.*, which includes the 2026.3 EAP. It does not install on later IDE versions. For earlier IDE versions, JetBrains Marketplace offers the last GBrowser release that supports them. For example, it offers 2026.2.3 for 2026.2, 2026.1.8 for 2026.1 and 2025.3.9 for 2025.3.

* The IDE must run on a runtime with JCEF support, such as the bundled JetBrains Runtime.

* The bundled Web Browser (JCEF) plugin must be enabled. GBrowser depends on it and cannot be enabled without it.
