The from-scratch Zig DOM browser cut 0.4.0 on August 31 and is at 34,635 stars (GitHub). Its own benchmark crawls 933 URLs on an AWS m5.xlarge with 25 concurrent processes at 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 run unchanged, and it has native MCP support. That memory number is the one to size against when deciding how many concurrent agent browser sessions fit on one box.

Endokelp/Endoplexity, created August 14 and already at about 208 stars, is a Chrome side panel that clicks, types, fills forms and moves between tabs by shelling out to the claude or cursor-agent CLI you already pay for, with no API key and 156 passing tests in its bridge (Git...
The orchestration plugin (38,453 stars, pushed August 9) removed its Codex and Gemini MCP servers in v4.4.0; multi-model work now spawns actual tmux worker processes via omc team N:codex or /ask codex (GitHub). Canonical surface is a staged pipeline: team-plan → team-prd → tea...
