 ### Chrome
 
 ```toml
 [dependencies]
-spider = { version = "1.49.13", features = ["chrome"] }
+spider = { version = "1.50.0", features = ["chrome"] }
 ```
 
 You can use `website.crawl_concurrent_raw` to perform a crawl without chromium when needed. Use the feature flag `chrome_headed` to enable headful browser usage if needed to debug.
