Puppeteer (js) in particular. But since it's based on protobuf rpc, you can use the underlying protocol (chrome devtools protocol) from any language.

It's by far the leading player in this space and for good reason. Selenium is unreliable and too generic.

There are puppeteer clones for many languages now. It's impressive how successful the devtools protocol has been.

Webdriver can still work with headless modes. Firefox too has a headless mode. And they're simpler than the old XVFB.
