[hafiihzafarhana]

above say can automatically to download or find the browser. Does this feature apply to production stages like on AWS?

Or we should install manual on the AWS Linux?

Yes, as long as your process can access internet. It will download the version specified here, you can also config which version to download:

rod/lib/launcher/browser.go

Lines 76 to 77 in c42b414

	// Browser is a helper to download browser smartly.
	type Browser struct {

For each rod, the version to download is fixed, so that there will be no cdp api mismatch.
Better to use Chromium, since all the unit tests on CI are using Chromium.

How about if I use the Docker image of go-rod (ghcr.io/go-rod/rod:v0.116.2)? is it not enough?

I think Docker image of go-rod includes chrome

RUN ln -s /root/.cache/rod/browser/$(ls /root/.cache/rod/browser)/chrome /usr/bin/chrome

Yes, if you use the same version of go-rod image, rod won't download the browser again.
