Cloudflare open-sourced Kitesurf on November 13, a browser built specifically for AI agents that runs on Cloudflare Workers and handles HTML parsing, CSS application, JavaScript execution and page screenshots without any Chromium process or container. Cloudflare says it targets agent-centric metrics such as token consumption, context window, scalability and cost, and consumes significantly less CPU and memory than Chromium on tasks like screenshots and HTML extraction, enabling higher-concurrency agent workloads.
