What Are the Best Use Cases for Headless Browsers in Automation? or How Do Headless Browsers Improve

Man, the bot detection is brutal. I’ve had luck with Playwright’s stealth plugin—it masks a lot of the telltale signs of automation.

For debugging, I lean heavy on Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). You can hook into it even with headless browsers and inspect the DOM, network calls, etc. Not as smooth as a GUI, but way better than guessing.

Also, screenshots are my lifeline. I litter my scripts with `page.screenshot()` calls to see where things break lol.
