Selenium
Specify browserless.io as your server in one line
1// From inside your Node application
2import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
3
4// Replace puppeteer.launch with puppeteer.connect
5const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
6 browserWSEndpoint: 'wss://chrome.browserless.io'
7});
8
9// The rest of your script remains the same

How it works
Browserless is a web-service that allows for remote programs to connect, pilot, and execute headless browser tasks — all inside of docker. It offers first-class integrations for puppeteer, playwright, selenium's webdriver, and a slew of handy REST APIs as well.
On top of all that it takes care of other common issues such as missing system-fonts, missing external libraries, and performance improvements. We even handle edge-cases like downloading files, managing sessions, and have a fully-fledged documentation site.
If you've been struggling to get Chrome up and running docker, or scaling out your headless workloads, then browserless was built for you.
Thousands of companies big and small trust browserless.io
Browserless helped us focus on the problem we were trying to solve, and less on scaling an automation infrastructure. Browserless's developer focused approach has been a key to us bringing our product to market at the speed we were able to do so. Joel and team are some of the most customer-centric partners I've worked with.
Scott Weinert — Co-Founder & CTO, Atomic
We were hosting our own Puppeteer-driven smoke testing service, which required specialized operational attention to maintain and scale. We began looking for third-party hosted solutions so that we could focus our attention on building and supporting our core products, and Browserless fit the bill.
Christopher Zhen — Software Engineer, Samsara
Browserless is a great browser-as-a-service tool that just works. We use it as a micro-service that renders thousands of dashboards per day as image of PDF and are very happy with the stability and performance.
