# What is a headless browser?

<p>Headless Chromium runs browser automation without a local desktop window. It still loads pages, executes JavaScript and uses network resources.</p>
<p>Tooluse.net gives each created session a remote browser connection and HTTP controls. A live-view URL can show the same remote page when the transport provides it. Headless mode does not guarantee that a website will accept automation or remove authentication and human-check requirements.</p>
<p>See <a href="/browsers/getting-started/create-browser-session">Create a browser session</a> and the <a href="/browsers/api">Browsers API</a> for authentication, request fields, and limits.</p>
