Browser Pools

Pre-warmed browser instances for fast acquisition. Ideal for high-throughput automation.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, id arguments refer to the browser session ID, not invocation IDs returned by Kernel commands.

When to Use

Browser pools are ideal when you need to:

• Minimize latency for browser acquisition with complex configurations (profiles, proxies, extensions)
• Run many short-lived browser tasks in parallel with consistent startup times
• Maintain consistent browser configuration across multiple sessions
• High-throughput automation where browser creation overhead impacts performance
• Parallel scraping of many pages with identical browser settings

For one-off or long-running browser sessions, creating browsers directly with kernel browsers create may be simpler.
