LinkedIn had challenged an order seeking journalists' data and a gag that blocked it from telling the journalists or their news organizations.

Kitesurf is now open source

Cloudflare has open-sourced Kitesurf, its stateless browser for AI agents, on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license. The browser runs entirely on Cloudflare Workers, parsing HTML, applying CSS, executing page JavaScript and taking screenshots without a full browser container, and it supports the Chrome DevTools Protocol so clients such as Puppeteer can connect.
