Huh? They have had the WebBrowser ActiveX control since IE3 I think. That works as headless as you get on Windows.

Not quite. It's my understanding it's not as up to date or equivalent to the latest IE. When I tried looking around I just got a lot of confusing information about the control, how it applies (or doesn't) traditional IE hacks, etc.

Though I could be wrong but it didn't seem like an equivalent to headless chrome or firefox.

That is not correct, it just runs in compatibility mode by default, see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/patricka/2015/01/12/control...
