Lightpanda: the headless browser designed for AI and automation

A from-scratch headless browser, not a Chromium fork — Lightpanda is a new browser engine written in Zig specifically for AI agents and automation, rather than a repackaged Chromium or WebKit. Benchmarks show roughly 16x lower memory use and 9x faster execution than headless Chrome across 933 real pages, making it worth trying for crawling and scraping workloads.
