This version of deep-tr-async makes use of the package get-ppbrowser. get-ppbrowser is a headless browser based on pyppeteer2.

To turn off headless mode, i.e., to show the browser in action, set PPBROWSER_HEADFUL to 1 (or true or True) in the .env file, e.g.,

PPBROWSER_HEADFUL=1

or from the cmomand line, e.g.,

set PPBROWSER_HEADFUL=1
# export PPBROWSER_HEADFUL=1 in linux or iOS

or in a python script

import os

os.environ["PPBROWSER_HEADFUL"]="1"  # note the quotes

PPBROWSER_DEBUG and PPBROWSER_PROXY can be set in a similar manner.
