Obscura is a Rust-native headless browser purpose-built for AI agent and scraping workloads. The pitch is not to replace Playwright for browser-based testing, it is to replace Chromium-in-a-container for scraping and agent automation at scale. The Rust core means significantly lower memory footprint per browser instance, which matters when you are running dozens or hundreds of concurrent agents. API is approachable for anyone who has used a high-level browser library before. Worth a look for anyone currently running Playwright or Puppeteer purely for agent work and feeling the memory tax.
