So I tried already to use the headless features, like you say on the readme.

chromeOptions: {
   args: [ '--headless', '--disable-gpu', '--window-size=800x600' ]
}

However, I’m more interested in using e2e (protractor) in combination with Chrome headless by using Puppeteer. Just like CodeceptJS  supports this already.

Currently it can’t find Chrome: unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary. (since I don’t want to install it)

I just want to run Protractor like I can run karma via Puppeteer. Without the need to install Chrome on my setup. But instead via npm, so I can have better continuous integration.

@danger89 I am successfully using that with following settings:

    chromeOptions: {
      args: process.env.HEADLESS
        ? ['--headless', '--no-sandbox', '--disable-dev-shm-usage']
        : [],
      binary: process.env.HEADLESS ? puppeteer.executablePath() : undefined,
    },

Does anyone know an automated way of keeping the webdriver and the version of chrome\chromium that Puppeteer has downloaded in sync? Is there a way to get Selenium to use Puppeteer’s browser object instead of webdriver so I don’t need to keep them in sync?
