 | 9 | +  Today we're happy to announce that Selenium 4.18 has been released!  | 
 | 10 | +---  | 
 | 11 | + | 
 | 12 | +We're very happy to announce the release of Selenium 4.18.0 and 4.18.1 for   | 
 | 13 | +Javascript, Ruby, Python, .NET, Java and the Grid!  | 
 | 14 | +Links to everything can be found on our [downloads page][downloads].  | 
 | 15 | + | 
 | 16 | +### Highlights  | 
 | 17 | + | 
 | 18 | +  * Chrome DevTools support is now: v120, v121, and v122 (Firefox still uses v85 for all versions)  | 
 | 19 | +  * Selenium Manager [records usage](https://plausible.io/manager.selenium.dev) has been decreased to reduce impact on users.  | 
 | 20 | +  * Chrome headless changed the name of the browser to reflect that it is not actually chrome; Selenium now handles this seamlessly,  | 
 | 21 | +but you should still switch to `--headless=new` (see: [Headless is going away](/blog/2023/headless-is-going-away/))  | 
 | 22 | + |
