Chrome's Headless mode has been upgraded with the introduction of --headless=new. The new version unifies Headless and headful modes, removing limitations and bugs of the old implementation. Developers can try out the new Headless mode using the  `--headless=new`  flag. The new mode supports various command-line flags like `--dump-dom`, `--screenshot`, and `--print-to-pdf`. To debug Headless Chrome, the `--remote-debugging-port` flag can be used.
