Cloudflare launches Kitesurf, a browser built for AI agents
Cloudflare built Kitesurf as a cloud browser for agents, optimized around context, compute cost, and security rather than human UI.
The beta runs on Cloudflare Workers through Browser Run, where developers can control headless browser instances on Cloudflare’s network. Cloudflare says it can handle tasks like navigating sites, filling forms, screenshots, and HTML extraction with lower CPU and memory use than Chromium. The company says Kitesurf was started 12 weeks before launch and is built from Blitz, Firefox’s Stylo CSS parser, Boa JS, and other Workers-based pieces. TechCrunch AI's note
