+# Chrome and Chromium
+
+When running Chrome, there are some useful command line arguments.
+
+You can inform `wpt` of the release channel of Chrome using `--channel`.
+`wpt` is able to find the correct binary in the following cases:
+* On Linux for stable, beta and dev channels if
+ `google-chrome-{stable,beta,unstable}` are in `PATH`;
+* On Mac for stable and canary channels if the official DMGs are installed.
+
+In other cases, you will need to specify the path to the Chrome binary with
+`--binary`. For example:
+
+```bash
+./wpt run --channel dev --binary /path/to/non-default/google-chrome chrome
+```
+
+Note: when the channel is "dev", `wpt` will *automatically* enable all
+[experimental web platform features][1]
+(chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features) by passing
+`--enable-experimental-web-platform-features` to Chrome.
+
+If you want to enable a specific [runtime enabled feature][1], use
+`--binary-arg` to specify the flag(s) that you want to pass to Chrome:
+
+```bash
+./wpt run --binary-arg=--enable-blink-features=AsyncClipboard chrome clipboard-apis/
+```
+
+[A detailed explanation is available](running-tests/chrome-chromium-installation-detection.html)
+for more information on how wpt detects and installs the components for Chrome and Chromium.
