# Browser Types

> Choose between Chromium or Chrome for your sessions

Notte supports multiple browser engines, allowing you to choose the right browser for your automation needs.

## Supported Browsers

### Chromium (Default)

Chromium is the open-source browser that powers Chrome. It's the default and recommended option for most use cases.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  from notte_sdk import NotteClient

  client = NotteClient()

  with client.Session(browser_type="chromium") as session:
      page = session.page
      page.goto("https://example.com")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Best for:**

* General web automation
* Fast performance
* Wide compatibility

### Chrome

Google Chrome with additional Google-specific features and branding.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  from notte_sdk import NotteClient

  client = NotteClient()

  with client.Session(browser_type="chrome") as session:
      page = session.page
      page.goto("https://example.com")
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Best for:**

* Sites that detect Chromium vs Chrome
* Google service automation
* Maximum compatibility

## Choosing the Right Browser

### Use Chromium when:

* Starting a new project (it's the default)
* You need fast performance
* Standard web automation

### Use Chrome when:

* Sites specifically check for Chrome vs Chromium
* Automating Google services
* You need maximum compatibility
