Negative Nancy says - “Headless browsers - browsers without a GUI(Graphical User Interface) serves no purpose as there is no way to browse” Me - GUI consumes more resources. Non-GUI solutions are cheaper and can scale. Browserless making $40K/month by using headless browser. Negative Nancy says - “Headless CMS solutions - With out a GUI, a CMS solution makes no sense.” Me - The world is moving more towards loosely decoupled systems. Having more control on what UI can be used gives more power. This way you can bring any front-end to your data. Note that ‘Headless CMS’ is getting extremely popular with with 34000 searches per month in Google. Deep-dive & Some niches A headless browser is a great tool for automated testing and server environments where you don't need a visible UI shell. For example, you may want to run some tests against a real web page, create a PDF of it, or just inspect how the browser renders a URL. Headless Chrome is a way to run the Chrome browser in a headless environment without the full browser UI. One of the benefits of using Headless Chrome (as opposed to testing directly in Node) is that your JavaScript tests will be executed in the same environment as users of your site. Headless Chrome gives you a real browser context without the memory overhead of running a full version of Chrome.
