Headless Browser Explained in 30 Seconds #datascience
A headless browser is a web browser that runs without a visible interface. It works just like Chrome or Firefox, but without the graphical window.
Headless browsers are mainly used for web scraping and automation. Many modern websites use JavaScript to load content dynamically. Traditional scrapers can't handle this, but headless browsers can. Headless browsers are also faster and use less memory than regular ones.
Popular options include Puppeteer and Playwright. They let you automate clicks, fill forms, and extract data from JavaScript-heavy sites.
