Congratulations on the milestone!

Stable enough for someone to add Cloudflare bypassing to compete with tools like Camofox?


Well bypassing anti-bot is not our focus. For us stable means having a stable web browser engine, ie. being able to handle webpages as close as possible as the specs and the traditional browsers like Chrome.

I know it's not, that's why I wrote "someone to add" :D this is more in the context of like the Hermes personal agent you mentioned. The agent is going to browse protected sites, too.

A connecting MCP server does not block session start; its tools just appear mid-session.

When I started this project more than 4 years ago (without LLM coding back then), I was confident I could build a browser from scratch in a systems language like Zig. The further I got, the more I realized what kind of madness I had gotten myself into, and dragged everyone who followed me into.

But in the end we made it: a working browser, used for billions of requests every day. Thanks to everyone who made this possible! Still a lot of work to do, obviously...


The name will probably make it a hard sell with some managers

Very cool project
