Zig-built headless browser engineered for AI agent workloads

Lightpanda is an open-source headless browser built from scratch in Zig for AI agents and automation. It strips away Chrome's rendering overhead, keeping only DOM and V8 JavaScript execution. Benchmarks show 11x faster execution and 9x less memory than headless Chrome, enabling ~140 concurrent sessions per server versus 15 with Puppeteer. Full CDP compatibility means existing Playwright and Puppeteer scripts migrate with zero code changes. Includes built-in MCP server for AI agent integration.
