Editorial verdict
Below cut line in search-news. Strong 90% browser automation (tied Bright Data #1) but 63% web extraction (worst among ranked). GitHub stale 4+ months (last push Nov 2025). Watchlist — strong HN traction and stealth capabilities, but maintenance risk.

Public evidence
Two notable HN posts. Strong developer reception for the MCP server and scalable browser infrastructure concepts.
Major maintenance concern. Could be active on private repo or losing momentum. Only 5 contributors adds risk.
