# Show HN: Tabstack – Browser infrastructure for AI agents (by Mozilla)

**[Hacker News](https://daily.dev/sources/hn)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Tabstack is a Mozilla-backed API that provides browser infrastructure for AI agents. It handles web rendering complexity by escalating from lightweight fetches to full browser automation only when needed, optimizes HTML content into markdown for LLM consumption, and manages headless browser fleet orchestration at scale. The service respects robots.txt, identifies its user agent, doesn't train models on scraped data, and discards content after processing. It aims to solve the bottleneck of maintaining complex web browsing infrastructure when building AI agents.
