Tadas Gedgaudas
Founder @ topYappers, former Web Scraping Engineer @ Oxylabs
Tadas has focused on web data extraction from the very start of his software development career. His first project was a web scraper, and it set the direction for everything since. Product-minded and, by his own admission, obsessed with scraper performance, he spent his time at Oxylabs engineering extraction systems built to run fast and at scale.
Today, he leads topYappers, where he builds data products that rely on heavy scraping across many sources, keeping him close to the open-source tooling that makes large-scale extraction possible.
Best Open-Source Scraping Repositories of 2026
Stop wasting weeks picking the wrong scraping tool. Tadas has already tested the lot. In this talk, he takes the open-source scrapers everyone's hyped about this year, the AI agent browsers, the fast browserless clients, the heavy-duty managed browsers, and pits them against each other to show what actually holds up in real work and what just demos well. He's been building scrapers since his first-ever coding project and now runs a whole company off them, so this is hard-won, not theoretical.
