Any plans to replace phantomjs with the chrome version of a headless browser? puppeteer
Reasons:

  • doesn't screenshot videos tags
  • issues with getting italic fonts to show properly
  • maintainer stepped down
@stevebritton stevebritton added this to the v2.0.0 milestone Oct 14, 2017

Hey @benhalverson,

With Vitaly Slobodin stepping down and headless browsing being available in Chrome(v59 I think?), we'll definitely want to start moving away from phantomjs. I'm going to mark place this in the v2.0.0 milestone as this will definitely be a breaking update.

For others who want to read about Vitaly Slobodin stepping down:
