Kitesurf
Kitesurf is an agent-first browser built specifically for AI agents and runs entirely on Cloudflare Workers instead of using Chromium. It is designed around what agents actually need: structured machine-readable content, scalable execution, low CPU and memory use, and safe interaction with untrusted web pages, rather than human-facing features such as tabs, themes, extensions, or pixel-perfect scrolling. Each page load is treated as untrusted input, every session starts fresh, and components are isolated with access only to the resources required for their function. Kitesurf uses native Rust compiled to WebAssembly where possible and is organized around an Engine, PageScript, and PageRenderer. The Engine exposes Chrome DevTools Protocol WebSocket and REST APIs and stores session state, while PageScript parses HTML and CSS and runs JavaScript and WebAssembly inside isolated Workers.

SlimerJS
SlimerJS is a free, open source scriptable browser for web developers, allowing interaction with web pages through external JavaScript scripts. It enables tasks such as opening web pages, clicking links, and modifying content, making it useful for functional tests, page automation, network monitoring, screen capture, and web scraping. Unlike PhantomJS, SlimerJS runs on top of Gecko, the browser engine of Mozilla Firefox, instead of WebKit, and can operate in both headless and non-headless modes. APIs of SlimerJS are similar to the APIs of PhantomJS but there are a few differences in their behavior. However, most of the scripts for PhantomJS run perfectly well with SlimerJS right now.
