-## Why?
-
-### Javascript execution is mandatory for the modern web
-
-In the good old days, scraping a webpage was as easy as making an HTTP request, cURL-like. It’s not possible anymore, because Javascript is everywhere, like it or not:
-
-- Ajax, Single Page App, infinite loading, “click to display”, instant search, etc.
-- JS web frameworks: React, Vue, Angular & others
-
-### Chrome is not the right tool
-
-If we need Javascript, why not use a real web browser? Take a huge desktop application, hack it, and run it on the server. Hundreds or thousands of instances of Chrome if you use it at scale. Are you sure it’s such a good idea?
-
-- Heavy on RAM and CPU, expensive to run
-- Hard to package, deploy and maintain at scale
-- Bloated, lots of features are not useful in headless usage
-
-### Lightpanda is built for performance
-
-If we want both Javascript and performance in a true headless browser, we need to start from scratch. Not another iteration of Chromium, really from a blank page. Crazy right? But that’s we did:
-
-- Not based on Chromium, Blink or WebKit
-- Low-level system programming language (Zig) with optimisations in mind
-- Opinionated: without graphical rendering
-
-## Status
-
-Lightpanda is still a work in progress and is currently at a Beta stage.
-
-:warning: You should expect most websites to fail or crash.
-
-Here are the key features we have implemented:
-
-- [x] HTTP loader
-- [x] HTML parser and DOM tree (based on Netsurf libs)
-- [x] Javascript support (v8)
-- [x] Basic DOM APIs
-- [x] Ajax
-  - [x] XHR API
-  - [x] Fetch API
-- [x] DOM dump
-- [x] Basic CDP/websockets server
-
-NOTE: There are hundreds of Web APIs. Developing a browser (even just for headless mode) is a huge task. Coverage will increase over time.
-
-You can also follow the progress of our Javascript support in our dedicated [zig-js-runtime](https://github.com/lightpanda-io/zig-js-runtime#development) project.
