Is there an analogue of selenium?

Question

Browsers

Are there analogues of selenium that would not open a browser? I need, for example, to go to the site, and how to be present in it, so that the site seems to think that a real person on the site who entered through the browser. And so that it does not load the system, so that I can run it many times. Selenium is not suitable for me because it launches browsers and the system freezes. Headless doesn't help.
In short, you need something like requests, but to be present on the site for a long time.
If you go to YouTube through requests, then this will not affect viewing

Answer 1

chromium headless browser
curl

Answer 2

1) Selenuim is not so bad
2) Selenoid is more lightweight and less demanding on resources (there are articles on Habré!)
There are also headless browsers on JS
1) Old PHANTOM
2) Puppeteer
There are also cloud things that are not so expensive, as it seems.
Example - Hello from the cloud - here 500 requests per day are free, and for 700+ rubles per month. you get 15,000 requests per day + proxy, which is good, unlike the situation when you hammer the site with a million requests in one IP.
Bold plus - you can use python, js, php, c# there

Answer 5
