-## Quick Start
-
-### Installation
+## Install
 
 ```bash
 npm install @monostate/node-scraper
-# or
-yarn add @monostate/node-scraper
-# or  
-pnpm add @monostate/node-scraper
 ```
 
-**New in v1.8.0**: Bulk scraping with automatic request queueing, progress tracking, and streaming results! Process hundreds of URLs efficiently. Plus critical memory leak fix with browser pooling.
-
-**Fixed in v1.7.0**: Critical cross-platform compatibility fix - binaries are now correctly downloaded per platform instead of being bundled.
-
-**New in v1.6.0**: Method override support! Force specific scraping methods with `method` parameter for testing and optimization.
-
-**New in v1.5.0**: AI-powered Q&A! Ask questions about any website using OpenRouter, OpenAI, or built-in AI.
-
-**Also in v1.3.0**: PDF parsing support added! Automatically extracts text, metadata, and page count from PDF documents.
+LightPanda is downloaded automatically on install. Puppeteer is an optional peer dependency for full browser fallback.
 
-**Also in v1.2.0**: Lightpanda binary is now automatically downloaded and configured during installation! No manual setup required.
-
-### Zero-Configuration Setup
-
-The package now automatically:
-- Downloads the correct Lightpanda binary for your platform (macOS, Linux, Windows/WSL)
-- Configures binary paths and permissions
-- Validates installation health on first use
-
-### Basic Usage
+## Usage
 
 ```javascript
 import { smartScrape, smartScreenshot, quickShot } from '@monostate/node-scraper';
 
-// Simple one-line scraping
+// Scrape with automatic method selection
 const result = await smartScrape('https://example.com');
-console.log(result.content); // Extracted content
-console.log(result.method);  // Method used: direct-fetch, lightpanda, or puppeteer
+console.log(result.content);
+console.log(result.method); // 'direct-fetch' | 'lightpanda' | 'puppeteer'
 
-// Take a screenshot
+// Screenshots
 const screenshot = await smartScreenshot('https://example.com');
-console.log(screenshot.screenshot); // Base64 encoded image
+const quick = await quickShot('https://example.com'); // optimized for speed
+
+// PDFs are detected and parsed automatically
+const pdf = await smartScrape('https://example.com/doc.pdf');
+```
 
-// Quick screenshot (optimized for speed)
-const quick = await quickShot('https://example.com');
-console.log(quick.screenshot); // Fast screenshot capture
+### Force a specific method
 
-// PDF parsing (automatic detection)
-const pdfResult = await smartScrape('https://example.com/document.pdf');
-console.log(pdfResult.content); // Extracted text, metadata, page count
+```javascript
+const result = await smartScrape('https://example.com', { method: 'direct' });
+// Also: 'lightpanda', 'puppeteer', 'auto' (default)
 ```
 
-### Advanced Usage
+No fallback occurs when a method is forced — useful for testing and debugging.
+

 });
 
 const result = await scraper.scrape('https://complex-spa.com');
-console.log(result.stats); // Performance statistics
-
-await scraper.cleanup(); // Clean up resources
-```
-
-### Browser Pool Configuration (New in v1.8.0)
-
-The package now includes automatic browser instance pooling to prevent memory leaks:
-
-```javascript
-// Browser pool is managed automatically with these defaults:
-// - Max 3 concurrent browser instances
-// - 5 second idle timeout before cleanup
-// - Automatic reuse of browser instances
-
-// For heavy workloads, you can manually clean up:
-const scraper = new BNCASmartScraper();
-// ... perform multiple scrapes ...
-await scraper.cleanup(); // Closes all browser instances
-```
-
-**Important**: The convenience functions (`smartScrape`, `smartScreenshot`, etc.) automatically handle cleanup. You only need to call `cleanup()` when using the `BNCASmartScraper` class directly.
-
-### Method Override (New in v1.6.0)
-
-Force a specific scraping method instead of using automatic fallback:
-
-```javascript
-// Force direct fetch (no browser)
-const result = await smartScrape('https://example.com', { method: 'direct' });
-
-// Force Lightpanda browser
-const result = await smartScrape('https://example.com', { method: 'lightpanda' });
-
-// Force Puppeteer (full Chrome)
-const result = await smartScrape('https://example.com', { method: 'puppeteer' });
-
-// Auto mode (default - intelligent fallback)
-const result = await smartScrape('https://example.com', { method: 'auto' });
-```
-
-**Important**: When forcing a method, no fallback occurs if it fails. This is useful for:
-- Testing specific methods in isolation
-- Optimizing for known site requirements
-- Debugging method-specific issues
+const stats = scraper.getStats();
+const health = await scraper.healthCheck();
 
-**Error Response for Forced Methods**:
-```javascript
-{
-  success: false,
-  error: "Lightpanda scraping failed: [specific error]",
-  method: "lightpanda",
-  errorType: "network|timeout|parsing|service_unavailable",
-  details: "Additional error context"
-}
+await scraper.cleanup();
 ```
 
-### Bulk Scraping (New in v1.8.0)
-
-Process multiple URLs efficiently with automatic request queueing and progress tracking:
+### Bulk scraping
 
 ```javascript
-import { bulkScrape } from '@monostate/node-scraper';
-
-// Basic bulk scraping
-const urls = [
-  'https://example1.com',
-  'https://example2.com',
-  'https://example3.com',
-  // ... hundreds more
-];
+import { bulkScrape, bulkScrapeStream } from '@monostate/node-scraper';
 
 const results = await bulkScrape(urls, {
-  concurrency: 5,  // Process 5 URLs at a time
-  continueOnError: true,  // Don't stop on failures
-  progressCallback: (progress) => {
-    console.log(`Progress: ${progress.percentage.toFixed(1)}% (${progress.processed}/${progress.total})`);
-  }
+  concurrency: 5,
+  continueOnError: true,
+  progressCallback: (p) => console.log(`${p.percentage.toFixed(1)}%`),
 });
 
-console.log(`Success: ${results.stats.successful}, Failed: ${results.stats.failed}`);
-console.log(`Total time: ${results.stats.totalTime}ms`);
-console.log(`Average time per URL: ${results.stats.averageTime}ms`);
-```
-
-#### Streaming Results
-
-For large datasets, use streaming to process results as they complete:
-
-```javascript
-import { bulkScrapeStream } from '@monostate/node-scraper';
-
+// Or stream results as they complete
 await bulkScrapeStream(urls, {
   concurrency: 10,
-  onResult: async (result) => {
-    // Process each successful result immediately
-    await saveToDatabase(result);
-    console.log(`✓ ${result.url} - ${result.duration}ms`);
-  },
-  onError: async (error) => {
-    // Handle errors as they occur
-    console.error(`✗ ${error.url} - ${error.error}`);
-  },
-  progressCallback: (progress) => {
-    process.stdout.write(`\rProcessing: ${progress.percentage.toFixed(1)}%`);
-  }
-});
-```
-
-**Features:**
-- Automatic request queueing (no more memory errors!)
-- Configurable concurrency control
-- Real-time progress tracking
-- Continue on error or stop on first failure
-- Detailed statistics and method tracking
-- Browser instance pooling for efficiency
-
-For detailed examples and advanced usage, see [BULK_SCRAPING.md](./BULK_SCRAPING.md).

-BNCA uses a sophisticated multi-tier system with intelligent detection:
-
-### 1. 🔄 Direct Fetch (Fastest)
-- Pure HTTP requests with intelligent HTML parsing
-- **Performance**: Sub-second responses
-- **Success rate**: 75% of websites
-- **PDF Detection**: Automatically detects PDFs by URL, content-type, or magic bytes
-
-### 2. 🐼 Lightpanda Browser (Fast)
-- Lightweight browser engine (2-3x faster than Chromium)
-- **Performance**: Fast JavaScript execution
-- **Fallback triggers**: SPA detection
-
-### 3. 🔵 Puppeteer (Complete)
-- Full Chromium browser for maximum compatibility
-- **Performance**: Complete JavaScript execution
-- **Fallback triggers**: Complex interactions needed
-
-### 📄 PDF Parser (Specialized)
-- Automatic PDF detection and parsing
-- **Features**: Text extraction, metadata, page count

-## ⚠️ Important Notes
-
-### Server-Side Only
-BNCA is designed for **server-side use only** due to:
-- Browser automation requirements (Puppeteer)
-- File system access for Lightpanda binary
-- CORS restrictions in browsers
-
-### Next.js Deployment
-- Use in API routes, not client components
-- Ensure Node.js 18+ in production environment
-- Consider adding Lightpanda binary to deployment
-
-### Lightpanda Setup (Optional)
-For maximum performance, install Lightpanda:
-
-```bash
-# macOS ARM64
-curl -L -o lightpanda https://github.com/lightpanda-io/browser/releases/download/nightly/lightpanda-aarch64-macos
-chmod +x lightpanda
-
-# Linux x64
-curl -L -o lightpanda https://github.com/lightpanda-io/browser/releases/download/nightly/lightpanda-x86_64-linux
-chmod +x lightpanda
-```
