what browsers are supported by puppeteer

Puppeteer primarily supports Chromium-based browsers, but there are also community-supported projects that extend its functionality to other browsers. Here’s an overview of browser support for Puppeteer:

Officially Supported Browsers:

1. Chromium: Puppeteer is designed to work seamlessly with any version of Chromium that it supports. This includes:
   • Google Chrome
   • Microsoft Edge (Chromium version)
   • Brave
   • Opera
   • and other Chromium-based browsers.

Community-Supported Browsers:

2. Firefox: There is a community-maintained project called puppeteer-firefox (formerly puppeteer-firefox) that provides Puppeteer-like functionality for Firefox. It leverages Firefox's remote debugging protocol to control and interact with the browser.

Differences and Considerations:

• Feature Parity: While Puppeteer offers comprehensive support for Chromium-based browsers, compatibility and feature parity may vary when using puppeteer-firefox with Firefox due to differences in browser architectures and feature implementations.

• API Compatibility: The Puppeteer API is primarily designed for Chromium, so when using puppeteer-firefox, developers should be aware of potential differences or limitations in API support compared to Chromium.
