I am in the works of using it because of how you can offload parallel scrapes to Amazon without any slowdowns or blocks. It works well in my Node environment. The scraped data is user initiated so having a level of parallelism helps in my scenario and saves me money!

Hi @vanloc0301 — Chromeless is written in Node.js/TypeScript and is specifically for browsers that implement the DevTools Protocol (basically, Chrome.)

It's a fairly broad question: what types of things do you need to do in the browser? Eventually chromeless will likely be at parity with what Selenium has to offer. It's hard to say whether or not chromeless can work for your needs unless we get some feedback on what you're trying to accomplish?
