Yet, people are deleting Siri AI to save disk spaces.

I tried to build a lightweight browser for agents, like lightpanda/obscura/kindsurf. But I then found out it's a dead end for me and all the others.

The web spec is vast and endless, if you try to build something actually works for modern sites, it will be huge. If you want to keep it lightweight, it won't work for most sites.

Just use chrome-headless-shell or webkit. Don't reinvent the wheels.

Their propaganda has become a footgun. Only the government buys it and limits their access, no target user convinced, what a ironic moment.

This is really a sad moment, I hope the free-theading feature can be kept in the main line. For me, running my library in real threads has actuall revealed some hidden fatal bugs which are hard to reproduce with the GIL>

As for performance, Python 3.x was not even as fast as Python 2.x in the beginning, but with the correct mindset, it's eventually faster.

Because I have to maintain it.

It's mostly only OpenAI, Claude and Gemini may have their unique advantages, but when speaking of models and new paradigm, only OpenAI can do it.

> there are just too many features dependent on the full Chrome stack

Do you mind elaborating on what features are missing?

Yes, indeed. I just tried search "Apple", and apple.com is not on the first page.

Why do people keep building servers for such a silly protocol?

I think it will, it uses requests, and cloudflare blocks traffic from non-browser, e.g. python http clients. It would be better to use something like curl_cffi.

How about going backwards? Find the first hundred users or at least 10-ish people who actually has a pain point, and build the product for them.

I doubt that. I have two kids, 4yo and 6yo. I told my kids that I can make their toys talk (using AI) a few months ago, and they have been constantly asking me when it will be ready.

I agree that the US is going to the wrong direction. I was just saying that what China did is a bad example, not a justification for other governments.

You are comparing oranges to apples here.

Basically, there are 2 legislation in the world, legistlation and the China legislation. In China, there are laws on the surface and there are rules underneath. For example, the government never admitted that the GFW exists, yet it keeps blocking more and more sites. The government never bans online forums, yet it never grants license to open a online bbs, since like ten years ago.

During some political sensitive times, the government would send secret requirement to local companies like ByteDance and Tencent on how to censor the social media. Back when I worked at ByteDance, when the 19th Communist Party congress was open, the auditors would be in a war room, just for making sure that no negative news or comments would be released. American companies also work with the government on censorship, more or less, but that's another story.

It's very common for Chinese people who have been fooled by the government to say that, these western companys left by themselves. But it's not the laws that on the surface drives them away, it's the rules underneath.
