Like pretty much everyone else I've been using PhantomJS to run my JavaScript (or compiled-to-JS) unit tests. It's been great. So when I heard the news that PhantomJS was dead I was genuinely sad. However, the King is dead.... Long live the King! For there is a new hope; it's called Chrome Headless . It's not a separate version of Chrome; rather the ability to run Chrome without a UI is now baked into Google's favourite browser as of v59. (For those history buffs I might as well be clear: the main reason PhantomJS died is because Chrome Headless was in the works.)
