const browser = await puppeteer.launch();

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our web scraping services.
Playwright supports multiple browsers (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) and is generally faster and more robust for modern testing. Puppeteer is Chrome-specific but has a massive community and ecosystem.
Using plugins like puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth combined with residential proxies can help bypass many anti-bot protections, though Playwright is increasingly preferred for this.
