"Is a headless web browser really faster for automated tasks?"
Hey folks! Been messing around with automation lately and keep hearing that a headless web browser is *way* faster. But like... is it actually?
I get that no GUI = less overhead, but does it *really* make a big diff for stuff like scraping or testing? Or is it just hype?
Also, does it handle complex JS sites well? Or do u still need a full browser for that?
Kinda torn between speed and reliability here. Any real-world experiences?
(Also, sorry if this has been asked a million times—tried searching but got lost in the noise lol.)
