What is Cloudflare Browser Rendering?

It is a service that runs headless Chromium browsers on Cloudflare's global network, controllable via Puppeteer or Playwright APIs within Cloudflare Workers.

Does this skill support Playwright?

Yes, it supports Playwright v1.55 GA (as of Sept 2025), including local development support via Wrangler and MCP integration.

Why should I use session reuse?

Launching new browsers is slow and consumes concurrency limits; reusing sessions via puppeteer.connect() significantly improves performance and resource utilization.

What configuration is required for Browser Rendering?

You must enable the 'nodejs_compat' compatibility flag and define a browser binding in your wrangler.jsonc file to access the browser instance.

Can I use this for AI-powered scraping?

Absolutely. You can use Browser Rendering to navigate and fetch dynamic page content, then pass that HTML to Workers AI for structured data extraction.
