I don't think it is. To me, that's like asking how a terminal text editor is different than a headless text editor. In both cases you'd be using the same application. So I'd assume for a browser that in both terminal and headless mode you'd use, for example, Lynx.

@Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net how is Lynx different from curl ??

Curl just spits out raw text. Lynx renders it.
