Lightpanda

Lightpanda is a company that has built a new web browser from scratch, specifically designed for AI and automation workflows. It is not a fork or patch of existing browsers. Lightpanda aims to be 10x faster and use 10x less RAM than Chrome headless, making it ideal for resource-intensive web scraping, building AI agents with web capabilities, and automating any website by transforming it into a programmatic interface. The browser is developed in Zig, a low-level system programming language, and is focused on headless operation without rendering overhead. Lightpanda also offers a cloud solution that allows users to scale effortlessly with existing tools like Puppeteer and Playwright, providing a choice between Chrome and Lightpanda's browser.
