Lightpanda is an open-source headless browser built specifically for AI agents and automation, with a Zig codebase and no Chromium rendering stack.
- Claims 11x faster execution than Chrome and 9x less memory usage
- Compatible with Puppeteer, Playwright, and CDP workflows
- Includes native MCP support and an agent mode that can execute a plain-English flow
- Can export a run as PandaScript, a replayable JavaScript script, so teams can prototype once with an LLM and ship deterministic automation without runtime inference
