# Browser management
Usually, you start working with Puppeteer by either launching [launching](https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.puppeteernode.launch) or [connecting](https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.puppeteernode.connect) to a browser.
## Launching a browser
```ts
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
// ...
```
## Closing a browser
To gracefully close the browser, you the [`browser.close()`](https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.browser.close) method:
```ts
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await browser.close();
```
## Browser contexts
If you need to isolate your automation taks, use [BrowserContexts](https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.browser.createbrowsercontext/). Cookies and local storage are not shared between browser contexts. Also, you can close all pages in the context by closing the context.
```ts
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const context = await browser.createBrowserContext();
const page1 = await context.newPage();
const page2 = await context.newPage();
await context.close();
```
## Permissions
You can also configure permissions for a browser context:
```ts
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const context = browser.defaultBrowserContext();
await context.overridePermissions('https://html5demos.com', ['geolocation']);
```
## Connecting to a running browser
If you launched a browser outside of Puppeteer, you can connect to it using [`connect`](https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.puppeteernode.connect/) method. Usually, you can grab a WebSocket endpoint URL from the browser output:
```ts
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
browserWSEndpoint: 'ws://127.0.0.1:9222/...',
});
const page = await browser.newPage();
browser.disconnect();
```
:::note
Unlike `browser.close()`, `browser.disconnect()` does not shut down the browser or close any pages.
