What is mean NOBROWSER mode - it is PhantomJS invisible browser

[gorcer]

Can you explain -n nobrowser mode?
I see the browser on a snap, but it's not chrome.

It's for flows which don't use the browser. For example, if you're just clicking on the screen and automating other programs (SAP, Word).

Then what browser I have seen in the snap?

Just tested that when I run it, I don't see a browser. Can you screenshot what browser you mean?

[gorcer]

I'm confused. Who render HTML if no browser?

Hi Egor, sorry I was away the past few months - tebelorg/RPA-Python#144

I see, TagUI runs on the PhantomJS engine for executing JavaScript. With -nobrowser, there is still a PhantomJS invisible browser, which is based on an older version of WebKit.

However, most modern websites are not tested with PhantomJS, so it is not the recommended way to automate websites headlessly. To automate websites without seeing browser, use -h or -headless to run Chrome using invisible mode. Let me know if you have questions!
