# Kitesurf open-source release

Cloudflare has open-sourced Kitesurf, its stateless browser for AI agents, on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, so developers can read the code, run it locally, modify it, and deploy their own instance to their own Cloudflare Workers account. Kitesurf runs entirely on Workers, parsing HTML, applying CSS, executing page JavaScript and rendering screenshots without a browser container, and it supports the Chrome DevTools Protocol so clients such as Puppeteer can connect. Cloudflare says the goal is a lightweight browser for agents that uses less CPU and memory than a full browser like Chromium and scales on demand, while noting the project is under heavy development.
