    PhantomJS is based on webkit (and an outdated version IIRC + a shitty JS interpreter)

specifically it's qtwebkit and an old version of it.

  They recently released a beta version based on a newer version of QtWebKit: https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/ https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/

It's a useful tool (and huge thanks to those who built it -- and SlimerJS for that matter) but whenever I've reached for there's always been some issue to resolve, generally relating to the exact version and/or set of APIs supported. Headless mode (with PDF support -- which it looks like the latest version of the Chromium remote protocol does indeed have) built into a mainstream browsers is nearly guaranteed to be a smoother experience.

      It switched to Electron under the hood a while back.

  And, if you need much higher fidelity and control of HTML/CSS -> PDF, there's the fantastic Prince library, http://princexml.com/ http://princexml.com/ (nonfree) (I've been using Prince for over a decade, rendering everything from prescription labels, packing slips, receipts, resumes, books, and more. It's great.)

    That's also an API service, http://docraptor.com http://docraptor.com, with a different pricing model that uses the Prince library for PDF rendering.
