can we have the same working with Chromium as a CLI ?

can we have the same working with Chromium as a CLI ?

Like a headless browser?

yes similar like headless... i'm using lighthouse-ci and looking for some solution which compares the reports on every run

Hi there, if my test web has a popup require you to input authentication(username,password) before you can access to the page, what should I do? Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you!
