Kuri – Zig based agent-browser alternative
https://github.com/justrach/kuriArticle
TL;DR
Zig-based agent browser claiming 16% lower token cost than Vercel’s agent-browser, but install is broken.
Key Takeaways
- Self-published 16% token cost reduction benchmark on Google Flights task — unverified
- Install script returns 404 — launch quality is a red flag for production use
- Still wraps Chrome DevTools Protocol — not truly standalone, requires Chrome running
