Chrome-less Chrome

Getting Started with Headless Chrome  |  Web  |  Google Developers

"Headless Chrome is shipping in Chrome 59. It's a way to run the Chrome browser in a headless environment. Essentially, running Chrome without chrome! It brings all modern web platform features provided by Chromium and the Blink rendering engine to the command line.

Why is that useful?

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 an URL."DevTools remote debugging UI:

“Kuka has a reputation for reliability, but as you know, as a German company, they are not really well-known for low-cost products,” Midea Vice President Andy Gu said in an interview Wednesday in Shanghai. “We need to really work very hard to figure out how we can really reduce these costs.”
In the meantime, Japanese competitors “are very aggressive in terms of grabbing market share,” he said."
