What's the disadvantage or advantage of headless chrome over chrome with head intact? Is headless chrome faster? Can we control popup windows in headless one?

  >What's the disadvantage or advantage of headless chrome over chrome with head intact? I am not aware of any. You just don't use headless Chrome for typical browsing :D >Is headless chrome faster? I guess it slightly is, because it doesn't need to paint the rendered page but tbh Chrome/Chromium is an enormous project so I can't comment in details. >Can we control popup windows in headless one? >Does it support proxies? I believe they are not possible because chrome-devtools-protocol doesn't support that yet, but you can add http/socks proxies inside Chrome and then run it as headless to use a proxy if you insist > Is it possible to control tabs? yes if you're that interested about headless Chrome, I recommend you read about chrome devtools protocol https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/1-2 https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/1-2
