As a rather new to browser testing, I have a question for you.
Considering you are using alpine in the box, the OS where chromium runs is not taken in the question when running browser tests?

You have to remember it's just running the Robot tests - against my real webserver. I'm not too concerned over possible minor differences in browsers across OS. If I was concerned I'd also use a service like CrossBrowserTesting or something similar.

thanks! That's been lately by battle, considering docker, whether to run the tests on a browser sitting on the OS client is using, or using different OS.

Cloud services are not an option for us unfortunately.
