# BrowserFetcher class
BrowserFetcher can download and manage different versions of Chromium and Firefox.
**Signature:**
```typescript
export declare class BrowserFetcher
```
## Remarks
BrowserFetcher operates on revision strings that specify a precise version of Chromium, e.g. `"533271"`. Revision strings can be obtained from [omahaproxy.appspot.com](http://omahaproxy.appspot.com/). In the Firefox case, BrowserFetcher downloads Firefox Nightly and operates on version numbers such as `"75"`.
The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the `BrowserFetcher` class.
## Example
An example of using BrowserFetcher to download a specific version of Chromium and running Puppeteer against it:
```ts
const browserFetcher = puppeteer.createBrowserFetcher();
const revisionInfo = await browserFetcher.download('533271');
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
executablePath: revisionInfo.executablePath,
});
```
**NOTE** BrowserFetcher is not designed to work concurrently with other instances of BrowserFetcher that share the same downloads directory.
