"What’s the Biggest Challenge 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, man, do they have their quirks.

The biggest headache? Debugging. Like, how do you even figure out what’s going wrong when there’s no UI to *see*? Console logs help, but it’s not the same as watching it fail in real-time.

Also, some sites straight-up block headless browsers. They detect the lack of a GUI and go "nope, not today." Gotta tweak user agents and stuff to sneak past.

Anyone else run into this? Or am I just missing some pro tips here?

(Also, sorry for typos—typing too fast lol.)
