A web data collector does not need to launch a full browser for every page. Browserbase makes that the starting point of its scraping migration guide: use Fetch to retrieve server-rendered content, and reserve browser sessions for pages that need JavaScript or interaction. Fetch does not execute JavaScript, so choosing between them depends on how the target page produces its content. This gives engineering teams a concrete way to simplify a collection workflow: identify which steps only need page contents before taking on the work of managing browser sessions.
