I am using Puppeteer to automate web scraping tasks, and I am facing an issue with handling multiple tabs in the browser. I want to switch between tabs and retrieve data from each tab, but I'm encountering difficulties.

Here's what I have tried so far:

  1. Launched a new browser instance using puppeteer.launch().
  2. Opened a new tab using browser.newPage().
  3. Navigated to a specific URL in the new tab using page.goto().
  4. Waited for the page to load using page.waitForSelector().
  5. Executed some code to extract data from the page using page.evaluate().

However, I need to switch back to the original tab and repeat the process for other URLs.

Can anyone guide me on how to properly handle multiple tabs in Puppeteer and switch between them to retrieve data from each tab? Or switch back to main tab so that I can continue the loop ?Is there a way to identify and switch to a specific tab by its URL or title?

I tried using page.bringToFront() and page.goBack() methods, but they didn't work as expected.
