Show HN: Pardus Browser- a browser for AI agents without Chromium

[dead]

To the author: ask your AI "what percentage of websites will this be expected to work well on, or better than just reading the HTML? What portion of websites do we need DOM, JS and maybe CSS at this point?"

Genuine question, not sarcasm. How does this work? As in, how is it different from an agent reading the code and inferring the result?I had to install Playwright to get Claude Code to acknowledge a rendering issue when it verified that the data was in the DOM. Can this detect something from the served content in some new and novel way?I'm dumb, might have missed it, only scanned the page looking for a heading that would explain and didn't see one, apologies if the page explains it and I missed it.

It's a neat idea, but the internet is not very tolerant to things that don't appear to be human traffic. That's why browsers used by web automation infrastructure are often Chromium-derived. Using a browser like this would almost certainly trigger all kinds of captcha requirements or worse.

How does this compare to Lightpanda, which appears to be trying to solve the same issue? https://github.com/lightpanda-io/browser (personally super happy to see Chromium-free solutions in this space!)
