Lightpanda's published 25-process crawl benchmark is 123 MB peak versus Chrome's 2.0 GB
lightpanda-io/browser cut 0.4.0 on 2026-08-31 and is trending today at 34,635 stars with 1,641 forks. The project's own benchmark crawls 933 URLs from the Amiibo demo site on an AWS m5.xlarge with 25 concurrent processes, reporting 4.81 seconds and 123 MB peak against Chrome's 46.70 seconds and 2.0 GB. It speaks CDP so Playwright and Puppeteer scripts work unchanged, and it has native MCP support, which is the part that matters if you are sizing how many concurrent agent browser sessions fit on one box.
