What Is a Headless Browser?
Ойын-сауық
Are you having trouble scraping data from difficult targets? Or, perhaps you’re a QA engineer looking for website automation or layout testing? Look no further because we’ve got a solution that fits all these scenarios - a headless browser.
A headless browser doesn’t have an interface, so it doesn’t feature elements like buttons, icons, or windows. As a result, this browser operates faster than a regular browser, making it popular amongst QA engineers. It is also popular in the web scraping world, as it helps to deal with complex targets.

Persistent malware using LOL methods including running headless Chrome. Yeah, I have experience with headless browsers from the victim end.

Really sorry to hear about your experience! Like with many online tools, misuse of headless browsers is a possibility but we don't condone such behaviour.

@@oxylabs I'm certainly not accusing you of misuse. My comment is meaningless to those who don't know about such things. My experience has been one to learn from. My curious nature has me looking at other systems and techniques. I am grateful for your reply. Next lesson is on containers.
