We don't support it and v3 shipped without including puppeteer-web in the browser. People are welcome to manually use Browserify to try to get Puppeteer running in a browser but it ultimately isn't our primary focus right now.
Getting puppeteer-core able to run in a browser is something we'll be looking at in the future so we'll revisit this soon.
Rather than use our own custom expect library, we can use expect from npm [1], which has an API almost identical to the one Puppeteer has, but with more options, better diffing, and is used by many in the community as it's the default assertions library that comes with Jest.
It's also thoroughly documented [2].

* feat: Set which browser to launch via PUPPETEER_PRODUCT
This change introduces a PUPPETEER_PRODUCT environment
variable as a first step toward using Puppeteer with
many different browsers. Setting PUPPETEER_PRODUCT=firefox, for
example, enables Firefox-specific Launcher settings.
The state is also exposed as `puppeteer.product` in the API
to support adding other product-specific behaviour as needed.
The bulk of the change is a refactoring in Launcher
to decouple generic browser start-up from product-specific
configuration.
Respecting the puppeteer-core restriction for PUPPETEER_
environment variables, lazily instantiate the Launcher
based on a `product` Puppeteer.launch option, if available.
* test: Distinguish Juggler unit tests from Firefox
The funit script is renamed to fjunit (j for Juggler, which is
used only by the experimental puppeteer-firefox package.
In contrast, the funit script now refers to running Puppeteer
unit tests against the main puppeteer package with Firefox.
To do so with Firefox Nightly, run:
`BINARY=path/to/firefox npm run funit`
A number of changes in this patch make it easier to run
Puppeteer unit tests in Mozilla's CI.
Node.js v6 was end-of-life'd in April, 2019, with AWS Lambda prohibiting updaets to the Node.js v6 runtime since June 30, 2019.
This makes it quite safe for us to remove the Node 6 support from the repository.
Introduce `//lib/api.js` that declares a list of publicly exposed
classes.
The `//lib/api.js` list superceedes dynamic `helper.tracePublicAPI()` calls
and is used in the following places:
- [ASYNC STACKS]: generate "async stacks" for publicy exposed API in `//index.js`
- [COVERAGE]: move coverage support from `//lib/helper` to `//test/utils`
- [DOCLINT]: get rid of 'exluded classes' hardcoded list
This will help us to re-use our coverage and doclint infrastructure
for Puppeteer-Firefox.
Drive-By: it turns out we didn't run coverage for `SecurityDetails`
class, so we lack coverage for a few methods there. These are excluded
for now, sanity tests will be added in a follow-up.
This patch removes all dynamic requires in Puppeteer. This should
make it much simpler to bundle puppeteer/puppeteer-core packages.
We used dynamic requires in a few places in lib/:
- BrowserFetcher was choosing between `http` and `https` based on some
runtime value. This was easy to fix with explicit `require`.
- BrowserFetcher and Launcher needed to know project root to store
chromium revisions and to read package name and chromium revision from
package.json. (projectRoot value would be different in node6).
Instead of doing a backwards logic to infer these
variables, we now pass them directly from `//index.js`.
With this patch, I was able to bundle Puppeteer using browserify and
the following config in `package.json`:
```json
"browser": {
"./lib/BrowserFetcher.js": false,
"ws": "./lib/BrowserWebSocket",
"fs": false,
"child_process": false,
"rimraf": false,
"readline": false
}
```
(where `lib/BrowserWebSocket.js` is a courtesy of @Janpot from
https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/pull/2374/)
And command:
```sh
$ browserify -r puppeteer:./index.js > ppweb.js
```

This patch unifies node6 transpilation:
- instead of generating multiple top-level directories, prefixed with
`node6-`, all transpiled code gets placed under single `node6/` folder
- transpilation doesn't change require paths of transpiled modules any
more
This patch:
- introduces a transpiler which substitutes async/await logic with
generators.
- starts using the transpiler to generate a node6-compatible version of puppeteer
- introduces a runtime-check to decide which version of code to use
Fixes#316.
This patch:
- split browser launching logic from Browser into `lib/Launcher.js`
- introduce `puppeteer` namespace which currently has a single `launch`
method to start a browser
With this patch, the browser is no longer created with the `new
Browser(..)` command. Instead, it should be "launched" via the
`puppeteer.launch` method:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
puppeteer.launch().then(async browser => {
...
});
```
With this approach browser instance lifetime matches the lifetime of
actual browser process. This helps us:
- remove proxy streams, e.g. browser.stderr and browser.stdout
- cleanup browser class and make it possible to connect to remote
browser
- introduce events on the browser instance, e.g. 'page' event. In case
of lazy-launching browser, we should've launch browser when an event
listener is added, which is unneded comlpexity.
This patch:
- reformats codebase to use 2-spaces instead of 4. This will
align the project with other codebases (e.g. DevTools and Lighthouse)
- enables eslint indentation checking

This patch:
- moves phantom shim shell into a bin/ folder
- introduces a new root index.js which exposes Browser to the
dependent modules
- adds forgotten LICENSE header to the install.js
