apify/browser-pool
A Node.js library to easily manage and rotate a pool of web browsers, using any of the popular browser automation libraries like Puppeteer, Playwright, or SecretAgent.
This is a tool for developers who build web scraping, automation, or testing applications. It helps manage multiple web browsers (like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) that run simultaneously without a visible interface. You feed it instructions for launching browsers and pages, and it handles the complexities of keeping them running, restarting them if they crash, and assigning tasks, so your applications can perform large-scale data collection or multi-browser testing efficiently.
No commits in the last 6 months. Available on npm.
Use this if you are a developer building web automation, data extraction, or cross-browser testing applications and need to manage many browser instances reliably without boilerplate code.
Not ideal if you are looking for a no-code solution or a graphical user interface to perform web automation or scraping; this is a programming library for developers.
