Options for launching a browser.

Fields

engine: EngineType

The browser engine to use.

user_data_dir: Option<PathBuf>

Path to user data directory.

headless: bool

Run in headless mode.

slow_mo: u64

Slow down operations by this many milliseconds.

verbose: bool

Enable verbose logging.

args: Vec<String>

Additional Chrome arguments.

channel: Option<String>

Installed browser channel for Playwright/Puppeteer (for example, chrome).

executable_path: Option<PathBuf>

Explicit path to a Chrome or Chromium executable.

color_scheme: Option<ColorScheme>

Color scheme to emulate. None uses the system default.

launch_timeout: Option<Duration>

Optional timeout for the browser launch handshake.

sandbox: bool

Whether to run the browser with the Chromium sandbox enabled.

Defaults to true. Disable when running in environments where the sandbox is unavailable (e.g. CI containers without the required capabilities). This translates to the --no-sandbox / --disable-setuid-sandbox Chromium flags.

node_executable: Option<PathBuf>

Node.js executable for Playwright/Puppeteer fallback engines.

node_working_dir: Option<PathBuf>

Working directory used to resolve Playwright/Puppeteer Node packages.
