|  Property | Modifiers | Type | Description |

|  [channel?](./puppeteer.launchoptions.channel.md) |  | [ChromeReleaseChannel](./puppeteer.chromereleasechannel.md) | <i>(Optional)</i> Chrome Release Channel |
|  [dumpio?](./puppeteer.launchoptions.dumpio.md) |  | boolean | <i>(Optional)</i> If true, pipes the browser process stdout and stderr to <code>process.stdout</code> and <code>process.stderr</code>. |
|  [env?](./puppeteer.launchoptions.env.md) |  | Record&lt;string, string \| undefined&gt; | <i>(Optional)</i> Specify environment variables that will be visible to the browser. |
|  [executablePath?](./puppeteer.launchoptions.executablepath.md) |  | string | <i>(Optional)</i> Path to a browser executable to use instead of the bundled Chromium. Note that Puppeteer is only guaranteed to work with the bundled Chromium, so use this setting at your own risk. |
|  [extraPrefsFirefox?](./puppeteer.launchoptions.extraprefsfirefox.md) |  | Record&lt;string, unknown&gt; | <i>(Optional)</i> [Additional preferences](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-release/source/modules/libpref/init/all.js) that can be passed when launching with Firefox. |
|  [handleSIGHUP?](./puppeteer.launchoptions.handlesighup.md) |  | boolean | <i>(Optional)</i> Close the browser process on <code>SIGHUP</code>. |

If an array is provided, these args will be filtered out. Use this with care - you probably want the default arguments Puppeteer uses. |

|  [product?](./puppeteer.launchoptions.product.md) |  | [Product](./puppeteer.product.md) | <i>(Optional)</i> Which browser to launch. |
