Which browsers does Fake Data support?

Fake Data (fakedata.pro) lists support for Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Opera. It is installed as a browser extension, and the site says it works right after install without advanced setup or extensive configuration.

Supported browsers

The site describes these as "most major browsers," so the list above is the confirmed set. Other Chromium-based or less common browsers are not named, so treat their support as unconfirmed rather than assuming it works.

What "support" means here

Support refers to running Fake Data as an extension inside the browser, not to a standalone desktop app or a cloud service. Two practical points follow from the product description:

• Install is the setup step. The site's main claim is that no advanced setup or extensive configuration is needed on first use — you install the extension and it is ready.
• Field recognition is separate from browser support. Fake Data says it can be extended to work with custom form elements (for example, inputs built with Material Design or other UI libraries that don't behave like standard HTML inputs). That capability depends on configuration or custom JavaScript, not on which of the four browsers you use.

How to check it on your own setup

1. Open the browser you plan to use and confirm it is one of the four listed above.
2. Install the extension from that browser's extension source.
3. Open a page with a form and trigger a fill to confirm the extension loads and recognizes fields.
4. If a field is not recognized — common with custom UI components — use the extension's customization or custom-code option rather than switching browsers.

Common sticking points

• Assuming unlisted browsers work. Only Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera are named. If your team standardizes on a browser outside that list, verify before relying on it.
• Expecting custom elements to work out of the box. The site presents custom-element support as something Fake Data "can be extended" to handle, so unusual inputs may need extra configuration.
• Confusing browser support with plan features. Browser compatibility is the same entry point for all users; extra capabilities come from the paid tiers (Pro at €4.99 lifetime and Ultra at €2.99/month, per the site), not from choosing a different browser.

If your only question is whether Fake Data runs in your browser, the answer is yes for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera — install it there and test on a real form before rolling it out to a team.
