+Overriding Protractor's browser choices
+=======================================
+
+In ``protractor-conf.js``, add a ``multiCapabilities`` option in the following format:
+
+.. code:: javascript
+
+    multiCapabilities: [
+        {
+                browserName: '<browser name 1>'
+        },
+        {
+                browserName: '<browser name 2>'
+        },
+        ...
+    ]
+
+.. note::
+
+   You may need to download your browsers' WebDrivers separately - see `the official Selenium docs <https://seleniumhq.github.io/docs/wd.html#quick_reference>`_.
