Today I had issue getting Browsershot to work.
It would always timeout.

So I thought I was running some bad combination of versions of PHP/Laravel/Node/Puppeteer.

So I made a clean Laravel project with everything at its latest version:

PHP: 8.3.2  
Laravel: 11.1.4
Node: 20.11.1
Puppeteer: 22.13.0

Then I ran a simple code:

Browsershot::url('https://example.com')->save('example.pdf');

But again, I get a timeout error (30 seconds), but no explanation what caused that.

So again, I installed an older Puppeteer version – 20.7.4, and Browsershot started working.

The problem is – the cause is unknown, and also I get a warning that older Puppeteer versions are not supported and have security issues.
