Is it possible to connect a browser to puppeteer without instantiating it in puppeteer? For example, running an instance of chromium like a regular user and then connecting that to an instance of puppeteer in code?

(However, it is possible to force Puppeteer to use a separately-installed version Chrome instead of Chromium via the executablePath option to puppeteer. launch .
Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control headless Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. It can also be configured to use full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium.
Default runtime settings To use Puppeteer with a different version of Chrome or Chromium, pass in the executable's path when creating a Browser instance: const browser = await puppeteer.launch({executablePath: '/path/to/Chrome'}); You can also use Puppeteer with Firefox Nightly (experimental support).
The answer is Yes and No.
You can connect to an existing using the connect function:
const browserURL = 'http://127.0.0.1:21222';
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({browserURL});
But, if you want to use those 2 lines you need to launch Chrome with the "--remote-debugging-port=21222 argument.
