Claude Code controls this seamlessly.
Great for letting agents test UI directly.
Inherited my Chrome logins instantly.
Saves so much token overhead.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
The agent runs in an isolated Space inside the browser, so it never hijacks your tabs, mouse or focus. Switch in to watch, or ignore it and keep working.
ego (lite) imports your whole Chrome profile in one click, so every site you are signed into stays signed in and the agent inherits that session.
Snapshots are built inside the custom Chromium engine and reach into cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM and third-party widgets like Stripe, Salesforce and Intercom.
Measured in ego's real-world benchmark, ego-browser completed complex tasks roughly 47–63% faster than rival tools with a 93.5% success rate and lower cost per task.
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kiro and any other agent that writes code — install once and type /ego-browser.
ego (lite) is a free browser purpose-built for AI agents that need to operate real websites. It is based on Chromium and behaves like Chrome for everyday browsing, but it adds an agent layer: once you install the ego-browser skill, agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kiro and others can drive the browser directly, with no SDK and no remote debugging setup. You simply tell your agent what you want and it executes the task.
Its defining feature is login reuse. ego (lite) imports your entire Chrome setup in one click, so every site you are already signed into stays signed in and the agent inherits the same authenticated state. This makes it practical for automating Gmail, Notion, LinkedIn, SaaS dashboards and internal tools without maintaining selectors or login scripts. The agent works inside an isolated Space rather than your tabs, so it does not steal focus or take over your mouse.
Under the hood, ego (lite) builds semantic snapshots inside its own Chromium engine instead of injecting a script like many stock-Chrome tools. Snapshots arrive faster, actions run more reliably, and they reach into cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM and embedded widgets such as Stripe, Salesforce and Intercom. In ego's own real-world benchmark, ego-browser completed complex tasks roughly 47–63% faster than alternatives with a 93.5% success rate and a lower average cost per task. Browser data such as bookmarks, passwords and history stays on your computer. It is available for Mac and marketed as always free with no account required.
Instead of maintaining brittle Playwright selectors or headless browsers without your logins, let the agent test in your signed-in browser with no selector or login scripts.
Pull and analyze social posts and competitor research using your logged-in sessions, instead of scrolling dozens of authenticated tabs by hand.
Collect invoices from Stripe, Shopify, your bank and other portals at month-end and match payouts to orders, while you still approve and pay.
Let the agent read case-law sites and internal pages behind a login, returning cited filings and knowledge-base answers for you to review.
