[Bug]: Error: Could not find Chrome (ver. 136.0.7103.92)

[darkons]

What happened?

I know that this bug has been reported several times, but I honestly don't know why it keeps happening.

Compliance with Browsershot requirements using the following versions on a Digital Ocean droplet deployed with Laravel Forge:

Ubuntu: 24.04
Node: v22.15.1
NPM: 11.5.1
PUPPETEER: 24.8.2

How to reproduce the bug

Follow the Browsershot docs for a Forge provisioned server:

1. Install puppeteer
   sudo npm install -g puppeteer

2. Install chromium
   npx puppeteer browsers install chrome

3. Install dependencies
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install libx11-xcb1 libxcomposite1 libasound2t64 libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgbm1 libgcc1 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6

Finally, just try to generate a PDF file using any method.
