# chromote (development version)

* The headless mode used by Chrome can now be selected with the `chromote.headless` option or `CHROMOTE_HEADLESS` environment variable.

In Chrome v128, a [new headless mode](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/chromium/new-headless) became the default. The new mode uses the same browser engine as the regular Chrome browser, whereas the old headless mode is built on a separate architecture. The old headless mode may be faster to launch and is still well-suited to many of the tasks for which chromote is used.

For now, to avoid disruption, chromote defaults to using the old headless mode. To test the new headless mode, use `options(chromote.headless = "new")` or `CHROMOTE_HEADLESS="new"` (in `.Renviron` or via `Sys.setenv()`). (#172)
