Hello, Lightpanda co-author here. Thanks for the evaluation and for sharing some results! I'd love to know more about your process and the crashes you ran into, if you're happy to share :)

Just wanted to add some clarifications to your list:

> 1. I use the MIT license, so you don't have to pay. Lightpanda requires payment if you use it for business. :)

Lightpanda uses the AGPL license, you can use it for business for free. Your only obligation is to distribute any modified version of Lightpanda's code + the license to your users.

> 3. Lightpanda isn't in Markdown format; it's more like a curl format.

I'm not sure what you mean, but Lightpanda can dump a rendered page in Markdown format via the CLI, CDP (using the custom LP domain), and the native MCP. This is a feature added recently.

BTW, Pardus looks nice, congrats! I'll follow your progress. And I agree, it's great to see more players in this space!

For scrolling, when using Intersection Observer, we currently assume all elements are visible. So, if you register an observer, we will dispatch an entry indicating an intersection with a ratio of 1.0.

Thanks for opening the issue in the repo. To be clear here, the crash seems relative with a socket disconnection issue in our CDP server.

> info(events): event handler error try catch: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')

This message relates to the execution of gt-ie9-ce3fe8e88d.js. It's not the origin of the crash.

I have to dig in, but it could be due to a missing web API.
