Lightweight, stealthy, and built in Rust. <h3 align="center">Native rendering is here. No Chromium required. 🎉 </h3> Capture screenshots, screencast live pages, and export PDFs directly with Obscura.

Obscura is a headless browser engine written in Rust, built for web scraping and AI agent automation. It runs real JavaScript via V8, supports the Chrome DevTools Protocol, and acts as a drop-in replacement for headless Chrome with Puppeteer and Playwright.

Why Obscura over headless Chrome?

Designed for automation at scale, not desktop browsing.

| Metric | Obscura | Headless Chrome | |--------------|--------------|------------------| | Memory | 30 MB | 200+ MB | | Binary size | 70 MB | 300+ MB | | Anti-detect | Built-in | None | | Page load | 85 ms | ~500 ms | | Startup | Instant | ~2s | | Puppeteer | Yes | Yes | | Playwright | Yes | Yes |

🎉 10,000 stars and what's next

We are working on Obscura Cloud the hosted version, with managed infrastructure, residential proxies, and dedicated support. For people who want the engine without operating it themselves.

The open-source engine stays Apache-2.0, fully featured. No feature gating, ever.
