With all respect to Mozilla, "respects robots.txt" makes this effectively DoA. AI agents are a form of user agent like any other when initiated by a human, no matter the personal opinion of the content publisher (unlike the egregious automated /scraping/ done for model training).

Pricing page is hidden behind a registration form. Why?
I also wanted to see how/if it handled semantic data (schema.org and Wikidata ontologies), but the hidden pricing threw me off.

This looks good , but if Pay-as-you-go pricing can have some more information about what your actual are charges are per unit or whatever metrics, that would be helpful. I signed up but still can not find the actual pricing.

Congrats on the launch! It would be useful to have a matrix somewhere showing how this compares to Jina, Firecrawl, etc.

> We don't spin up a full browser instance for every request (which is slow and expensive)
there's really no excuse for not spinning up a browser every request. a Firecracker VM boots ~50ms nowadays
> We respect robots.txt rules.
you might, but most companies in the market for your service don't want this
