If you're open to it, I'd love to hear what you think of what we're building at https://browserbase.com/ - you can run a chrome extension on a headless browser so you can do the semantic markdown within the browser, before pulling anything off.
We even have an iFrame-able live view of the browser, so your users can get real-time feedback on the XPaths they're generating: https://docs.browserbase.com/features/session-live-view#give-control-o…
Happy to answer any questions!

Very cool - and impressive speed!
How does it compare with headless browser services like https://browserless.io or https://browserbase.com ?

Have you looked into tools https://www.multion.ai or https://www.browserbase.com.

TLDR: They're promoting a product they're working on with Cloudfare under the guise of it being an "open standard" [1]. Of course, in the docs, Step 1 is "Sign in with your Cloudfare account". Comes across a bit land-grabby.

Have you considered removing all headless traits so that agent wont be easily detected, just like what browserbase did here？
