What is a headless browser? How do you run Headless Chrome?

A headless browser is the same as a regular web browser but the headless browser doesn’t have a graphical user interface (or GUI). Instead of navigating visually through the website, you navigate the headless browser via code or via a command-line interface. In this video, Matthew from Elementive walks through what a headless browser is and how you can run a headless version of Chrome.

    Is that a chrome instance will be there in background for headless testing? I mean whether an instance can be seen under process tab in task manager

    Regular Chrome seems to work for me, no need to install Canary (I have Windows 8, Canary doesn't support it anyway). That way, it also works without the enable-logging and disable-gpu options. enable-logging results in outputting html to console, but when you save html to a file, you don't need it. Also, you might have noticed that when you save html to a file another console window is opened for a while (on Windows 8 I also get 2 error messages). If you don't use enable-logging the window is not opened and there's no errors.

    How do I do a regular POST request? There are websites blocking cURL from executing PHP files and I think this headless approach is the workaround I need. How do I do that?
