## What it is
A collection of practical Puppeteer example scripts for running Headless Chrome from Node.js, covering basics like screenshots and form handling, site searches, logins, shopping carts, and parallel page processing. The repository is deprecated in favor of the theheadless.dev knowledge base and its examples are dated.

## Use cases
- learn puppeteer browser automation with example scripts
- scrape search results from amazon or google with headless chrome
- take screenshots of web pages in parallel with node
- automate login flows like github or google social login
- write e2e browser tests with jest and puppeteer
- download and upload files with headless chrome

## When to choose
- you want copy-paste runnable Puppeteer snippets for common browser automation tasks
- you are learning headless Chrome automation from real-world examples
- you need reference patterns for logins, searches, or shopping cart flows

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained Puppeteer or Playwright guidance - use theheadless.dev instead
- you need a production scraping or testing framework rather than example scripts
- you need up-to-date selectors for the demo sites, which have likely changed since 2020
