Headless browser integration

[V Munich]

Have you guys looked into integrating headless browsing into Zenno?

Please look into projects such as PhantomJS and CasperJS, both are headless browsers/webdrivers that support javascript. As Zenno uses Firefox, it is also possible to run Firefox headlessly using xvfb.

This would dramatically increase the amount of threads one can run in a computer, and decrease memory and CPU consumption.

Please consider looking into this possibility

Yes, we plan this

[+] New mode “Browser w/out content view” for project operation has been added. The mode allows to disable rendering, reduce memory and CPU usage. It currently works as beta, without plugins (flash, etc.).

Is this the headless integration?

EDIT: Just tested it, great improvement. Can run around 2.5 x more threads.
