+## Using Alternative Cypress Binaries
+
+Following [aggressive blocking](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/28269) by Cypress.io team we released alternative, block-free Cypress binaries that were compiled from the MIT-licensed Cypress source code.
+
+The documentation is available at: https://currents.dev/readme/integration-with-cypress/alternative-cypress-binaries.
+
+The example in this repository uses [cypress-io/github-action@v6](https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action). `cypress-io/github-action` **caches and restores cypress binaries before running the tests** - you need to disable this behaviour to use the freshly installed non-blocking binaries:
+
+```yml
+- name: Run Cypress on Currents.dev
+  env:
+    # enable verbose logging
+    DEBUG: \@cypress/github-action
+  uses: cypress-io/github-action@v6
+  continue-on-error: true
+
+  with:
+    # 🔥 Set to false to prevent restoring cached blocking Cypress binary
+    install: false
+    command: |
+      npx cypress-cloud --record --parallel --browser chrome --key ${{ secrets.CURRENTS_RECORD_KEY }} --ci-build-id "${{ github.repository }}-${{ github.run_id }}-${{ github.run_attempt}}"
+```
