## 🚀 Get Started in Seconds!

Get up and running in three simple steps:

### Step 1: Run the Docker image
```bash
docker run -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/browserless/chromium
```
### Step 2: Open the docs in your browser
Visit http://localhost:3000/docs

**✅ Success!** Your browser service is live at `ws://localhost:3000`

### Step 3: Connect your script with Puppeteer or Playwright

<details open>
<summary><b>📘 Puppeteer Example</b></summary>

```js
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer-core';

const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
  browserWSEndpoint: 'ws://localhost:3000',
});

const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
console.log(await page.title());
await browser.close();
```

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>🎭 Playwright Example</b></summary>

```js
import pw from 'playwright-core';

const browser = await pw.firefox.connect(
  'ws://localhost:3000/firefox/playwright'
);

const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
console.log(await page.title());
await browser.close();
```

 **Note:** Use `ghcr.io/browserless/firefox` or `ghcr.io/browserless/multi` for Firefox/Webkit support.

## 💡 Why Browserless?

**Running Chrome in the cloud or CI sucks.**

Missing fonts. Random crashes. Dependency hell. Lambda limits. You know the drill.

**Browserless solves this** by handling browsers as a managed service — locally or in our cloud — so you can focus on automation, not infrastructure. We've taken care of the hard parts: system packages, font libraries, security patches, scaling strategies, and CVEs.

You still own your script. You still control your code. We just make sure the Browser runs smoothly, every time.

## 📜 Licensing

SPDX-License-Identifier: SSPL-1.0 OR Browserless Commercial License.

If you want to use Browserless to build commercial sites, applications, or in a continuous-integration system that's closed-source then you'll need to purchase a commercial license. This allows you to keep your software proprietary whilst still using browserless. [You can purchase a commercial license here](https://www.browserless.io/contact). A commercial license grants you:

- Priority support on issues and features.
- On-premise running as well as running on public cloud providers for commercial/CI purposes for proprietary systems.
- Ability to modify the source (forking) for your own purposes.
- A new admin user-interface.

Not only does it grant you a license to run such a critical piece of infrastructure, but you are also supporting further innovation in this space and our ability to contribute to it.

If you are creating an open source application under a license compatible with the Server Side License 1.0, you may use Browserless under those terms.
