Professional / Community 2020.7

Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional / Community 2020.7 on 17 July 2020, adding an embedded Chromium browser that is preconfigured to work with the full functionality of Burp Suite. The release removes the need to manually set proxy settings or install Burp's CA certificate, and the browser is launched from the "Proxy" > "Intercept" tab via "Open Browser", while external browsers can still be configured as before.

Why it matters: The setup steps this release eliminates - proxy configuration and CA certificate installation - are the same ones that trip up teams standing up interception testing, so the barrier to getting HTTPS traffic under inspection drops to a single click.
