Hi Guys,

I'm working on automating page crawling and processing using puppeteer chromium, I'm wondering how many parallel tabs can chromium process at the same time?

Thanks.

It all depends on your system's available resources and how resource-intensive the pages you are loading are.

I'm not aware of a hard limit, and anecdotally I have had many hundreds of tabs open in non-headless Chrome. Chrome uses multiple renderer processes which tends to be the limiting factor rather than the single browser process, but I haven't actually tried your workload so if you are putting a lot of pressure on the browser process, and you have the CPU resources so that running multiple would actually be parallel, your mileage may vary.

Is there a limit to number of tabs per chromium instance?

For example, if I split 100 tabs into 5 chromium instance with 20 tabs, would there be a difference resource and processing wise?

Thank you.
