Puppeteer: Profile creation is not support for {value} yet

The browser manager’s profile-creation helper does not support the requested browser kind.

Error message

Profile creation is not support for {value} yet

{value} is replaced by the value shown in your error message.

How this error happens

The standalone createProfile helper does not initialize every browser family. Passing Chrome to its Firefox profile-creation path is unsupported.

import {
    Browser,
    createProfile,
} from "@puppeteer/browsers";

await createProfile(
    Browser.CHROME,
    {
        path: "/absolute/path/automation-profile",
        preferences: {},
    }
);

How to fix

Let Puppeteer’s Chrome launcher manage an automation profile through userDataDir.

import puppeteer from "puppeteer";

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    browser: "chrome",
    userDataDir: "/absolute/path/chrome-automation-profile",
});

Things to keep in mind

Do not initialize or modify a personal profile that another Chrome process is using.
