Too Long; Didn't Read
<a href="https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome" target="_blank">Headless Chrome was announced with quite a bit of fanfare</a>. Its reveal caused <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/phantomjs/9aI5d-LDuNE" target="_blank">maintainers to setup down</a>, <a href="https://github.com/graphcool/chromeless" target="_blank">new packages to come out</a>, and even <a href="https://browserless.io" target="_blank">new startups to launch</a> (full disclosure: that last link is my own initiative). If you regularly visit Hacker News, then none of this should be a shock to you.
