"What Are the Biggest Challenges When Working with Headless Browsers?"
Hey folks!
So I've been tinkering with headless browsers for a while now, and while they're awesome for automation, they’re not without their quirks.
Biggest pain point? Debugging. No GUI means you’re stuck with logs and screenshots, which can be a headache when something goes sideways.
Also, some sites straight-up block headless browsers because they *look* like bots. Gotta tweak user-agents and flags to sneak past.
And let’s not forget the occasional "wait, why isn’t this element loading?!" moments. Dynamic content can be a real pain.
Anyone else run into these issues? How do you handle em?
(Also, sorry for any typos—typed this on my phone lol)
