I don't think so. Why would you want to do so? On their site they mention that they support Playwright, Puppeteer & Cheerio.

To offload web scraping for my service so it doesn't kill my vps. I'm trying to do it liek that but there's no such option:
Copy code
launchOptions: { wsEndpoint: "BROWSERLESS ENDPOINT",

Reviewing the source:
https://github.com/apify/crawlee/blob/master/packages/puppeteer-crawler/src/internals/puppeteer-launcher.ts
export async function launchPuppeteer( launchContext?: PuppeteerLaunchContext, config = Configuration.getGlobalConfig(), ): Promise
{ const puppeteerLauncher = new PuppeteerLauncher(launchContext, config); return puppeteerLauncher.launch(); } It looks like crawlee uses "launch" not "connect" const browser = await puppeteer.connect({ browserWSEndpoint: 'ws://localhost:3000', });

I am interested in using browserless as well, but not seeing how to do it.
