`browser-paths` is a tiny cross‑platform helper crate that locates the executable file paths of Chrome and Edge (stable / beta / dev / canary) on the current machine.

## Installation

Add this crate by cargo

```bash
cargo add browser-paths
```

## Usage

All public helpers live in the crate root and return `Option<PathBuf>`.

```rust
use browser_paths::{
    get_any_chrome_latest,
    get_any_chrome_stable,
    get_chrome_path,
    get_any_edge_latest,
    get_any_edge_stable,
    get_edge_path,
};

fn main() {
    // Latest available Chrome (Canary > Dev > Beta > Stable)
    if let Some(path) = get_any_chrome_latest() {
        println!("Latest Chrome found at: {}", path.display());
    } else {
        println!("No Chrome installation found.");
    }

    // Stable‑ish Chrome (Stable > Beta > Dev > Canary)
    if let Some(path) = get_any_chrome_stable() {
        println!("Stable Chrome found at: {}", path.display());
    }

    // Strictly the stable channel only
    if let Some(path) = get_chrome_path() {
        println!("Chrome stable (only) at: {}", path.display());
    }

    // Same helpers exist for Edge
    if let Some(path) = get_any_edge_latest() {
        println!("Latest Edge found at: {}", path.display());
    }

    if let Some(path) = get_edge_path() {
        println!("Edge stable (only) at: {}", path.display());
    }
}
```
