Remote Browser is a JavaScript library for programmatically controlling browsers like Chrome and Firefox, built on the standard Web Extensions API. It offers a cross-browser alternative to Puppeteer and Selenium for tasks like UI testing, SSR, and web scraping.
Use cases
- automate chrome and firefox from node.js
- scrape websites with a real browser
- run ui tests across browsers
- server-side render web pages
- control a browser programmatically via web extensions api
When to choose
- you need cross-browser automation using standard Web Extensions APIs instead of vendor-specific protocols
- you want a lightweight, low-level alternative to Puppeteer or Selenium
When to avoid
- you need a mature, actively maintained tool with recent releases
- you only target Chromium and prefer Puppeteer's richer ecosystem
