Still unsure how the old "Crawler Instances" translates into the new "Browser Windows" limit

Help! Browsertrix

I tried to understand the commit messages, but I’m still unsure how the old “Crawler Instances” limit translates into the new “Browser Windows”.

We tried to be nice with “Crawler Instances=1”, which seems to be equivalent to the new minimum of “Browser Windows=4”. Is that true?

Yes, that is correct. On the back end the amount of browser windows in a “crawler instance” is a configurable value. Based on our infrastructure we’ve settled on 4 per instance, but these details aren’t really valuable for the end user. Now the setting is labeled “browser windows” to better reflect what will happen when each value is selected.

All configs will behave as they did before the name change.
