Moli: The Best Browser for AI Agents, Written in Pure Rust
Moli is a production-ready, structured-first browser engine for AI agents, written in pure Rust. It runs real JavaScript, DOM, and browser APIs by default, but computes layout or pixels only when you ask — a cost model built for crawling, browser-use, and retrieval workloads. In a 192-URL crawl it beat Chrome Headless on useful-page rate while using roughly 10x less memory. What Is Moli? A Structured-First Browser Engine for AI Agents Moli is not another Chromium wrapper. It is a browser kernel built from the ground up in Rust, designed around a single idea: AI agents mostly want the structure of a page — the DOM, the computed styles, the text — not a rendered picture of it. Traditional headless browsers spend enormous effort producing pixels that most agent workloads never look at. ...
