Running a 'webbrowser' other than lynx/links/w3m implies a GUI, which makes no sense as you wouldn't have a GUI on a server.
- jesseb 8y agoWindows Server gives you the option to install a GUI, many people do.
- wayneftw 8y agoAbsolutist thinking is not good for you and I think that it often clashes with reality. The only browser on your server should be the one you need to run there. How about a server to automate some Windows GUI thing or to run mobile OS emulators like BrowserStack does? You're gonna need a GUI there because going "headless" is not always an option depending on how interesting your work is. I've also used server editions of Linux and Windows as my workstation throughout my career because they have features that I needed or just the convenience of having the same exact setup as production.
