Lightpanda now runs WebSockets inside Web Workers.
Lightpanda has merged support for WebSockets in Web Workers, unlocking real-time data flows for apps like Slack and crypto exchanges that keep their data path off the main thread. This browser-engine update meaningfully expands the range of modern architectures that automated workflows and agents can exercise.
This engine update unlocks a common real-time browser pattern that many automation stacks still miss by enabling worker-based apps that rely on WebSockets for streaming updates. It significantly improves Lightpanda's coverage of modern app architectures and reduces the need for compatibility hacks when testing agents against apps that offload data processing from the main thread.
