browserget

CI Docs Python 3.11+ License: MIT PyPI

Standalone CLI to install browsers and drivers without any framework.

Chrome for Testing, Firefox, Edge, ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver, EdgeDriver — all from a single tool. Python 3.11+, zero heavy dependencies.

Why?

playwright install ties you to Playwright. puppeteer install ties you to Puppeteer. browserget installs browsers for any use — automation, scraping, testing, CDP, BiDi, whatever.

Features

  • 6 targets — Chrome, Firefox, Edge + ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver, EdgeDriver
  • Concurrent installs — multiple targets install in parallel
  • Driver matching — --for chrome auto-matches ChromeDriver to your Chrome
  • Checksum verification — SHA-256/SHA-512 when upstream provides checksums
  • Registry tracking — JSON registry tracks every installed artifact
  • JSON output — every command supports --json for CI/CD integration
  • Retry with backoff — HTTP client retries failed requests automatically
  • Disk space checks — verifies sufficient space before downloading
  • Platform detection — auto-detects OS and architecture
