About
Lightpanda is a headless browser written in Zig for AI agents and automation, and it executes JavaScript without graphical rendering. It can run as a CDP server for Puppeteer, Playwright and similar clients. The README reports 16x less peak memory and 9x faster execution than headless Chrome on a 100-page benchmark run on AWS. Binaries are published for Linux and macOS, and Windows users must run it inside WSL2.
Use cases: browser-automation
