"What are the best use cases for a headless web browser?"
Hey folks! 👋 Been messing around with a headless web browser lately, and it's pretty dope. But I'm curious—what are the *best* ways to use it?
Like, I know it's great for automated testing (no UI = faster runs, right?). And web scraping seems easier since you don’t gotta deal with rendering all the visuals.
But what else? Anyone using it for monitoring, or maybe generating PDFs? Or am I missing some killer use case here?
Also, does it actually save time, or is it just extra hassle for simple stuff?
Thanks in advance! 🚀
(Ps. If you’ve got fav tools—Puppeteer, Playwright, etc.—drop em’ too!)
