+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+

+# unbrowser
+
+**Web access for LLM agents. One static binary. No Chrome.**
+
+Single-file native headless browser optimized for LLM agents. Runs JavaScript via QuickJS, returns a low-token page summary on every navigate, and gives you stable element refs for click/type/submit. Tens of MB RAM per session, no Chrome dependency.
+
+```bash
+pip install unbrowser
+```
+
+The wheel ships the native binary for your platform — there's nothing else to install.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```python
+from unbrowser import Client
+
+with Client() as ub:
+    r = ub.navigate("https://news.ycombinator.com")
+    for s in ub.query(".titleline > a")[:3]:
+        print(s["text"], s["attrs"]["href"])
+```
+
+## Why
+
+| | curl | This | Playwright / headless Chrome |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Static / SSR pages | ✅ but token-heavy | ✅ low-token BlockMap | overkill |
+| SPA-shell sites (with `exec_scripts`) | ❌ | ⚠️ partial | ✅ |
+| Bot-walled (cookie handoff) | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
+| Run in Lambda / Workers / edge | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ Chrome too big |
+| Per-page cost at 100K/day | ~free | ~free | $$$ |
+| LLM-shaped output | DIY parse | ✅ inline BlockMap | DIY parse |
+
+## What it does
+
+- **`navigate(url)`** — fetch, parse, return `{status, url, bytes, headers, blockmap, challenge}`. With `exec_scripts=True`, runs page JS in QuickJS (bounded by a 30s watchdog so it can't wedge).
+- **`query(selector)`** — CSS query → `[{ref, tag, attrs, text}]`. Refs are stable handles for click/type/submit.
+- **`extract()`** — auto-strategy structured data: tries JSON-LD → `__NEXT_DATA__` → Nuxt → OpenGraph → microdata → text fallback, returns highest-confidence hit.
+- **`click(ref)` / `type(ref, text)` / `submit(ref)`** — interaction. POST and GET forms supported. Checkboxes/radios tracked.
+- **`cookies_set(...)`** — paste cookies from a real Chrome session to bypass bot detection (Cloudflare, PerimeterX, Datadome). Solve once, replay forever.
+
+Full RPC reference, BlockMap shape, challenge detection, profile system, and architecture: [github.com/protostatis/unbrowser](https://github.com/protostatis/unbrowser).
+
+## Honest limits
+
+- Heavy framework SPAs (Ember/React) often don't auto-mount inside QuickJS even with `exec_scripts=True` — the watchdog ensures it returns, check `density.likely_js_filled` to decide whether to escalate.
+- No screenshots (out of scope by design).
+- Hardest-tier anti-bot (FingerprintJS Pro, Kasada, advanced Akamai BMP) needs the cookie handoff path. The binary detects and labels the challenge for you.
