Every listing tagged browser-automation, A to Z: 7 tools across 1 category. Listed in alphabetical order, not ranked.
Browser Use
Open-source (MIT) browser agent: run it from Python with any LLM, give Claude Code or Codex a browser through its CLI skill, or use Browser Use Cloud for stealth browsers with CAPTCHA solving and residential proxies and a hosted agent API. Pay as you go, no subscription: cloud browsers $0.02 an hour, $1 free credit.
Browserbase
Cloud browsers for AI agents: fleets of headless browsers that log in, fill forms and act where there is no API, plus Search and Fetch APIs, CAPTCHA solving, live view and session replay. Drive them with Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium or Browserbase's open-source Stagehand SDK (MIT). Free plan; Developer $20/month.
ego lite
Free browser for AI agents on macOS, with Windows in beta: Claude Code, Codex or Cursor drive it through the open-source (MIT) ego-browser skill in their own isolated Spaces while you keep browsing, inheriting your Chrome logins and cookies; Linux is on the roadmap.
Playwright MCP
Microsoft's MCP server that lets Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients drive a browser through Playwright's accessibility snapshots instead of screenshots: Chrome, Firefox, WebKit or Edge, headed or headless, or attached to your logged-in browser through an extension. Open source (Apache-2.0) and free.
Pomerado
Turns any website, from consumer sites to legacy portals, into a hosted API or MCP server for your agents, faster and more reliable than browser agents; open source and backed by Y Combinator.
pw-repl
Open-source (MIT) Playwright REPL that drives Chromium over CDP, in your own browser with its logins or a headless one, shared by you and your AI agents: agents send commands with pw-repl send, every command shows in the REPL, and watch records your manual steps for the agent to read.
Steel
Open-source (Apache-2.0) browser API for AI agents: Steel Browser runs Chrome sessions you drive with Puppeteer, Playwright or Selenium, keeps cookies and storage across requests, rotates proxies and turns pages into Markdown, screenshots or PDFs. Self-host it with Docker or use Steel Cloud, free to start with $30 of credits.
