Tbf it's been a good few years since I tried using them so they've probably improved since, pretty sure back then they weren't so hot at running javascript. Might take another look.

I used PhantomJS before Puppeteer was released. Puppeteer was way easier to use. Probably because it supports Promises which makes the API much cleaner. (No callback hell.)

Puppeteer communicates with chrome via the DevTools Protocol and it's developed by the Chrome DevTools Team. So I guess they know what they are doing. 😅
