Browser InfraLIVEby Lightpanda
A from-scratch headless browser engine written in Zig, roughly 10x lighter on memory than Chromium and built for speed. Purpose-built for high-throughput, read-only extraction workloads without a full rendering pipeline. JavaScript support is still maturing, so complex SPAs may not render fully.
