"What are the best use cases for a headless browser in automation?"
Hey folks!
I've been tinkering with headless browsers lately, and man, they're pretty versatile. But I'm curious—what do y'all think are the *best* use cases for 'em in automation?
Like, obviously web scraping is a big one since they can handle JS-heavy sites without loading all the GUI stuff.
But what about testing? I’ve heard they’re killer for CI/CD pipelines cuz they’re fast and don’t need a screen.
Also, anyone using headless browsers for stuff like monitoring or automating repetitive tasks? Or am I just overhyping it?
Kinda new to this, so any real-world examples would be awesome!
Thanks in advance! 🚀
(PS: If you’ve got horror stories, I’m here for those too lol.)
