    Finally, people starting to realize that AGPL means you can just fork and remove everything you don’t like (including branding)

    The future[0] continues to arrive.

      What's wrong with LGPL? It grants more freedom and has less scary restrictions.

    Cool project, a mild pet peeve with this type of thing - I have to read 75% of the README before I find out what it even does. The first bits make a huge assumption about what the reader knows.

      It's probably safe to assume that if you're looking for a fork of Firecrawl, you already know what Firecrawl does.

        until the fork becomes more or at least similarly popular.

      Good point, agreed. I assumed that most people looking at the repo would already be familiar with Firecrawl, but there should be at least a sentence or two explaining what it does regardless.

    As I see, you use Puppeteer, not Playwright

    Also, both Firecrawl and Firecrawl Simple are really simple, and most importantly don't have proxy service which is the heart of any crawler and scraper
