Description

Documents embedded Chromium browser background network traffic in src/puppeteer/README.md.

Server Details

  • Server: puppeteer
  • Changes to: docs (README.md)

Motivation and Context

Fixes #4829.

Browsers like Chromium automatically generate background network traffic (such as component updater, CRL sets, and captive portal / connectivity checks to Google endpoints like clients2.google.com and accounts.google.com) in addition to user-initiated navigation requests. In egress-restricted or audited enterprise environments, documenting these endpoints and proxy considerations prevents confusion during network reviews or auditing.

How Has This Been Tested?

Verified markdown formatting and rendered output of src/puppeteer/README.md.

Breaking Changes

None.
