Headless mode does not load enabled browser extension

Running puppeteer with an enabled browser extension in headless mode does not invoke this browser extension. If I turn off the headless mode it works as expected.

Since it’s explicit listed with headless: false in the docs, it seems to be the correct behaviour, but also unexpected (at least for me). Would be interested why extensions are limited that way in puppeteer.

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
  headless: false,
  args: [
    '--disable-extensions-except=/path/to/extension/',
    '--load-extension=/path/to/extension/',
  ]
});

anything new or planned here? or a workaround?

Hey folks, thanks for updating the docs to note that Chrome Headless doesn’t currently support extensions. I’m curious about that closing this issue—where is adding headless support for extensions tracked? Glad to file an issue somewhere if one doesn’t exist.
