Well, i know that chromium is available for Android and it supports headless. Please advice.

Hello, after a week of hit & trial I came with a solution to make it work on Android with Termux. Follow up the gist Starting point repo takes a screenshot using puppeteer in termux.

Unfortunately we don’t have android Chromium builds for you in the same place that we have mac/win/linux builds. You should try using puppeteer-core and connecting to a Chrome instance you launched yourself.

If you get it working please report back. I am interested!
