Developers building AI agents that need browser automation could have a lighter option that does not depend on Chrome or a browser container. Because Kitesurf speaks the Chrome DevTools Protocol, existing tooling may be able to connect to it, but teams will need to check how much of that protocol it supports. Cloud use would require a paid Workers plan, so cost should be tracked alongside compatibility.
