If you already have Chrome installed, you can set the following environment variables to avoid downloading Chromium unnecessarily.

export PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=1
# Replace the path with your actual Chromium browser path
export PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=/usr/bin/google-chrome
# Some common values for above might be:
# on MacOS: "/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google chrome"
# on Ubuntu: /usr/bin/google-chrome
# on Windows 10: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chome.exe

or, in a GitHub Action workflow (as they have Chrome installed; assuming Ubuntu)

env:
  PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD: 1
  PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH: /usr/bin/google-chrome
