Tips

Review

• Navigate to chrome://version to see the effective launch arguments of the current Chrome browser

Improving larger scale automation

• --no-zygote: was a actually a solution to the zombie processes spawning in my puppeteer-cluster
• --no-xshm: I had similar issues (running multiple concurrent Chrome in the same container) in the past that were resolved with this

Other

• --window-position: Hide while still being headful, useful when you can't use Xvfb.--window-position=-10000,10000
