A Node.js library that wraps Puppeteer to provide a production-ready headless Chrome/Chromium driver with built-in screenshot, PDF generation, and text/HTML extraction APIs. It includes an adblocker, automatic retries, a CLI, and optional Lighthouse integration.
Use cases
- take screenshots of web pages programmatically
- generate PDFs from URLs
- extract text and HTML from websites
- scrape pages with headless Chrome in Node.js
- run Lighthouse audits on URLs
- manage and respawn headless browser sessions reliably
When to choose
- you need a robust Puppeteer wrapper with retries, pooling, and sane defaults
- you want built-in screenshot, PDF, text, and HTML extraction without writing boilerplate
- you want ad-blocking to speed up headless page loads
When to avoid
- you need a hosted browser API service rather than a self-managed library
- you are not using Node.js or Puppeteer
- you need full low-level control over every Puppeteer API detail
