-# CDP Browser Crawling
-
-> **New in v0.7.6**: Efficient concurrent crawling with managed CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) browsers. Connect to a running browser instance and perform multiple crawls without spawning new windows.
-
-## 1. Overview
-
-When working with CDP browsers, you can connect to an existing browser instance instead of launching a new one for each crawl. This is particularly useful for:
-
-- **Development**: Keep your browser open with DevTools for debugging
-- **Persistent Sessions**: Maintain authentication across multiple crawls  
-- **Resource Efficiency**: Reuse a single browser instance for multiple operations
-- **Concurrent Crawling**: Run multiple crawls simultaneously with proper isolation
-
-**Key Benefits:**
-
-- ✅ Single browser window with multiple tabs (no window clutter)
-- ✅ Shared state (cookies, localStorage) across crawls
-- ✅ Concurrent safety with automatic page isolation
-- ✅ Automatic cleanup to prevent memory leaks
-- ✅ Works seamlessly with `arun_many()` for parallel crawling
-
----
-
-## 2. Quick Start
-
-### 2.1 Starting a CDP Browser
-
-Use the Crawl4AI CLI to start a managed CDP browser:
-
-```bash
-# Start CDP browser on default port (9222)
-crwl cdp
-
-# Start on custom port
-crwl cdp -d 9223
-
-# Start in headless mode
-crwl cdp --headless
-```
-
-The browser will stay running until you press 'q' or close the terminal.
-
-### 2.2 Basic CDP Connection
-
-```python
-import asyncio
-from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, BrowserConfig, CrawlerRunConfig
-
-async def main():
-    # Configure CDP connection
-    browser_cfg = BrowserConfig(
-        browser_type="chromium",
-        cdp_url="http://localhost:9222",
-        verbose=True
-    )
-    
-    # Crawl a single URL
-    async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_cfg) as crawler:
-        result = await crawler.arun(
-            url="https://example.com",
-            config=CrawlerRunConfig()
-        )
-        print(f"Success: {result.success}")
-        print(f"Content length: {len(result.markdown)}")
-
-if __name__ == "__main__":
-    asyncio.run(main())
-```
-
----
-
-## 3. Concurrent Crawling with arun_many()
-
-The real power of CDP crawling shines with `arun_many()`. The browser manager automatically handles:
-
-- **Page Isolation**: Each crawl gets its own tab
-- **Context Sharing**: All tabs share cookies and localStorage
-- **Concurrent Safety**: Proper locking prevents race conditions
-- **Auto Cleanup**: Tabs are closed after crawling (except sessions)
-
-### 3.1 Basic Concurrent Crawling
-
-```python
-import asyncio
-from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, BrowserConfig, CrawlerRunConfig, CacheMode
-
-async def crawl_multiple_urls():
-    # URLs to crawl
-    urls = [
-        "https://example.com",
-        "https://httpbin.org/html",
-        "https://www.python.org",
-    ]
-    
-    # Configure CDP browser
-    browser_cfg = BrowserConfig(
-        browser_type="chromium",
-        cdp_url="http://localhost:9222",
-        verbose=False
-    )
-    
-    # Configure crawler (bypass cache for fresh data)
-    crawler_cfg = CrawlerRunConfig(
-        cache_mode=CacheMode.BYPASS
-    )
-    
-    # Crawl all URLs concurrently
-    async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_cfg) as crawler:
-        results = await crawler.arun_many(
-            urls=urls,
-            config=crawler_cfg
-        )
-        
-        # Process results
-        for result in results:
-            print(f"\nURL: {result.url}")
-            if result.success:
-                print(f"✓ Success | Content length: {len(result.markdown)}")
-            else:
-                print(f"✗ Failed: {result.error_message}")
-
-if __name__ == "__main__":
-    asyncio.run(crawl_multiple_urls())
-```
-
-### 3.2 With Session Management
-
-Use sessions to maintain authentication and state across individual crawls:
-
-```python
-async def crawl_with_sessions():
-    browser_cfg = BrowserConfig(
-        browser_type="chromium",
-        cdp_url="http://localhost:9222"
-    )
-    
-    async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_cfg) as crawler:
-        # First crawl: Login page
-        login_result = await crawler.arun(
-            url="https://example.com/login",
-            config=CrawlerRunConfig(
-                session_id="my-session",  # Session persists
-                js_code="document.querySelector('#login').click();"
-            )
-        )
-        
-        # Second crawl: Reuse authenticated session
-        dashboard_result = await crawler.arun(
-            url="https://example.com/dashboard",
-            config=CrawlerRunConfig(
-                session_id="my-session"  # Same session, cookies preserved
-            )
-        )
-```
-
----
-
-## 4. How It Works
-
-### 4.1 Browser Context Reuse
-
-When using CDP browsers, Crawl4AI:
-
-1. **Connects** to the existing browser via CDP URL
-2. **Reuses** the default browser context (single window)
-3. **Creates** new pages (tabs) for each crawl
-4. **Locks** page creation to prevent concurrent races
-5. **Cleans up** pages after crawling (unless it's a session)
-
-```python
-# Internal behavior (simplified)
-if self.config.use_managed_browser:
-    context = self.default_context  # Shared context
-    
-    # Thread-safe page creation
-    async with self._page_lock:
-        page = await context.new_page()  # New tab per crawl
-    
-    # After crawl completes
-    if not config.session_id:
-        await page.close()  # Auto cleanup
-```
-
-### 4.2 Page Lifecycle
-
-```mermaid
-graph TD
-    A[Start Crawl] --> B{Has session_id?}
-    B -->|Yes| C[Reuse existing page]
-    B -->|No| D[Create new page/tab]
-    D --> E[Navigate & Extract]
-    C --> E
-    E --> F{Is session?}
-    F -->|Yes| G[Keep page open]
-    F -->|No| H[Close page]
-    H --> I[End]
-    G --> I
-```
-
-### 4.3 State Sharing
-
-All pages in the same context share:
-
-- 🍪 **Cookies**: Authentication tokens, preferences
-- 💾 **localStorage**: Client-side data storage
-- 🔐 **sessionStorage**: Per-tab session data
-- 🌐 **Network cache**: Shared HTTP cache
-
-This makes it perfect for crawling authenticated sites or maintaining state across multiple pages.
-
----
-
-## 5. Configuration Options
-
-### 5.1 BrowserConfig for CDP
-
-```python
-browser_cfg = BrowserConfig(
-    browser_type="chromium",           # Must be "chromium" for CDP
-    cdp_url="http://localhost:9222",   # CDP endpoint URL
-    verbose=True,                      # Log browser operations
-    
-    # Optional: Override headers for all requests
-    headers={
-        "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.9",
-    },
-    
-    # Optional: Set user agent
-    user_agent="Mozilla/5.0 ...",
-    
-    # Optional: Enable stealth mode (requires dedicated browser)
-    # enable_stealth=False,  # Not compatible with CDP
-)
-```
-
-### 5.2 CrawlerRunConfig Options
-
-```python
-crawler_cfg = CrawlerRunConfig(
-    # Session management
-    session_id="my-session",           # Persist page across calls
-    
-    # Caching
-    cache_mode=CacheMode.BYPASS,       # Fresh data every time
-    
-    # Browser location (affects timezone, locale)
-    locale="en-US",
-    timezone_id="America/New_York",
-    geolocation={
-        "latitude": 40.7128,
-        "longitude": -74.0060
-    },
-    
-    # Proxy (per-crawl override)
-    proxy_config={
-        "server": "http://proxy.example.com:8080",
-        "username": "user",
-        "password": "pass"
-    }
-)
-```
-
----
-
-## 6. Advanced Patterns
-
-### 6.1 Streaming Results
-
-Process URLs as they complete instead of waiting for all:
-
-```python
-async def stream_crawl_results():
-    browser_cfg = BrowserConfig(
-        browser_type="chromium",
-        cdp_url="http://localhost:9222"
-    )
-    
-    urls = ["https://example.com" for _ in range(100)]
-    
-    async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_cfg) as crawler:
-        # Stream results as they complete
-        async for result in crawler.arun_many(
-            urls=urls,
-            config=CrawlerRunConfig(stream=True)
-        ):
-            if result.success:
-                print(f"✓ {result.url}: {len(result.markdown)} chars")
-                # Process immediately instead of waiting for all
-                await save_to_database(result)
-```
-
-### 6.2 Custom Concurrency Control
-
-```python
-from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig
-
-# Limit concurrent crawls to 3
-crawler_cfg = CrawlerRunConfig(
-    semaphore_count=3,      # Max 3 concurrent requests
-    mean_delay=0.5,         # Average 0.5s delay between requests
-    max_range=1.0,          # +/- 1s random delay
-)
-
-async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_cfg) as crawler:
-    results = await crawler.arun_many(urls, config=crawler_cfg)
-```
-
-### 6.3 Multi-Config Crawling
-
-Different configurations for different URL groups:
-
-```python
-from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig
-
-# Fast crawl for static pages
-fast_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
-    wait_until="domcontentloaded",
-    page_timeout=30000
-)
-
-# Slow crawl for dynamic pages
-slow_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
-    wait_until="networkidle",
-    page_timeout=60000,
-    js_code="window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);"
-)
-
-configs = [fast_config, slow_config, fast_config]
-urls = ["https://static.com", "https://dynamic.com", "https://static2.com"]
-
-async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_cfg) as crawler:
-    results = await crawler.arun_many(urls, configs=configs)
-```
-
----
-
-## 7. Best Practices
-
-### 7.1 Resource Management
-
-✅ **DO:**
-```python
-# Use context manager for automatic cleanup
-async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_cfg) as crawler:
-    results = await crawler.arun_many(urls)
-# Browser connection closed automatically
-```
-
-❌ **DON'T:**
-```python
-# Manual management risks resource leaks
-crawler = AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_cfg)
-await crawler.start()
-results = await crawler.arun_many(urls)
-# Forgot to call crawler.close()!
-```
-
-### 7.2 Session Management
-
-✅ **DO:**
-```python
-# Use sessions for related crawls
-config = CrawlerRunConfig(session_id="user-flow")
-await crawler.arun(login_url, config=config)
-await crawler.arun(dashboard_url, config=config)
-await crawler.kill_session("user-flow")  # Clean up when done
-```
-
-❌ **DON'T:**
-```python
-# Creating new session IDs unnecessarily
-for i in range(100):
-    config = CrawlerRunConfig(session_id=f"session-{i}")
-    await crawler.arun(url, config=config)
-# 100 unclosed sessions accumulate!

-## 8. Troubleshooting
-
-### 8.1 Connection Issues
-
-**Problem**: `Cannot connect to CDP browser`
-
-```python
-# Check CDP browser is running
-$ lsof -i :9222
-# Should show: Chromium  PID USER   FD   TYPE  ...
-
-# Or start it if not running
-$ crwl cdp
-```
-
-**Problem**: `ERR_ABORTED` errors in concurrent crawls
-
-✅ **Fixed in v0.7.6**: This issue has been resolved. Pages are now properly isolated with locking.
-
-### 8.2 Performance Issues
-
-**Problem**: Too many open tabs
-
-```python
-# Ensure you're not using session_id for everything
-config = CrawlerRunConfig()  # No session_id
-await crawler.arun_many(urls, config=config)
-# Pages auto-close after crawling
-```
-
-**Problem**: Memory leaks
-
-```python
-# Always use context manager
-async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_cfg) as crawler:
-    # Crawling code here
-    pass
-# Automatic cleanup on exit
-```
-
-### 8.3 State Issues
-
-**Problem**: Cookies not persisting
-
-```python
-# Use the same context (automatic with CDP)
-browser_cfg = BrowserConfig(cdp_url="http://localhost:9222")
-# All crawls share cookies automatically
-```
-
-**Problem**: Need isolated state
-
-```python
-# Use different CDP endpoints or non-CDP browsers
-browser_cfg_1 = BrowserConfig(cdp_url="http://localhost:9222")
-browser_cfg_2 = BrowserConfig(cdp_url="http://localhost:9223")
-# Completely isolated browsers
-```
-
----
-
-## 9. Comparison: CDP vs Regular Browsers
-
-| Feature | CDP Browser | Regular Browser |
-|---------|-------------|-----------------|
-| **Window Management** | ✅ Single window, multiple tabs | ❌ New window per context |
-| **Startup Time** | ✅ Instant (already running) | ⏱️ ~2-3s per launch |
-| **State Sharing** | ✅ Shared cookies/localStorage | ⚠️ Isolated by default |
-| **Concurrent Safety** | ✅ Automatic locking | ✅ Separate processes |
-| **Memory Usage** | ✅ Lower (shared browser) | ⚠️ Higher (multiple processes) |
-| **Session Persistence** | ✅ Native support | ✅ Via session_id |
-| **Stealth Mode** | ❌ Not compatible | ✅ Full support |
-| **Best For** | Development, authenticated crawls | Production, isolated crawls |

-## 10. Real-World Examples
-
-### 10.1 E-commerce Product Scraping
-
-```python
-async def scrape_products():

-    # Get product URLs from category page
-    async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_cfg) as crawler:

-        # Extract product URLs
-        product_urls = extract_urls(category_result.links)
-        
-        # Crawl all products concurrently
-        product_results = await crawler.arun_many(

-        )
-        
-        return [extract_product_data(r) for r in product_results]
-```

-### 10.2 News Article Monitoring
-
-```python
-import asyncio

-async def monitor_news_sites():
-    browser_cfg = BrowserConfig(
-        browser_type="chromium",

-                    cache_mode=CacheMode.BYPASS,  # Always fresh
-                    css_selector=".article-headline"
-                )
-            )
-            
-            for result in results:
-                if result.success:
-                    headlines = extract_headlines(result)
-                    for headline in headlines:
-                        if is_new(headline):
-                            notify_user(headline)
-            
-            # Check every 5 minutes
-            await asyncio.sleep(300)

-## 11. Summary
-
-CDP browser crawling offers:
-
-- 🚀 **Performance**: Faster startup, lower resource usage
-- 🔄 **State Management**: Shared cookies and authentication
-- 🎯 **Concurrent Safety**: Automatic page isolation and cleanup
-- 💻 **Developer Friendly**: Visual debugging with DevTools
-
-**When to use CDP:**
-- Development and debugging
-- Authenticated crawling (login required)
-- Sequential crawls needing state
-- Resource-constrained environments
-
-**When to use regular browsers:**
-- Production deployments
-- Maximum isolation required  
-- Stealth mode needed
-- Distributed/cloud crawling
-
-For most use cases, **CDP browsers provide the best balance** of performance, convenience, and safety.
