Show HN: The fastest browser for AI agents to run browser automation

Citrolabs released ego lite, a macOS browser for AI agents that runs browser automation in parallel with the user's own browsing, claiming complex tasks finish up to 2.5Γ— faster with higher success rates and fewer tool calls. Each agent gets an isolated workspace called a Space, and the ego-browser skill, installable via `npx skills add citrolabs/ego-lite`, connects agent CLIs including Claude Code, Codex and Cursor to browser tools such as snapshot, fill, click, wait, navigate and capture. The release is free, migrates existing Chrome logins, cookies, extensions and bookmarks, and is Windows and Linux "coming soon.

Run browser automation in parallel while you continue browsing. Zero cost, zero config. Your agents work in their own Spaces without disturbing your tabs.

Windows and Linux coming soon. Get started in minutes.

        Or install the skill with: `npx skills add citrolabs/ego-lite`

Complex tasks finish up to 2.5Γ— faster with higher success rates and fewer tool calls. Agents write JavaScript functions directly instead of getting stuck in command loops.

Each agent gets its own fully isolated workspace. You browse in the foreground, agents work in the background. No tab conflicts.

Run multiple agents simultaneously in different Spaces. Claude Code enriching 10 leads, Codex scraping 5 competitor sitesβ€”all at once.

Kernel-level customization handles tough cases like deeply nested iframes where other approaches break down. Reliable page analysis for AI agents.

ego-browser connects any agent CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to ego lite. Exposes browser as JavaScript tools: snapshot, fill, click, wait, navigate, capture.

Migrate your existing Chrome data during setup. Agents inherit your logins, cookies, extensions, and bookmarks automatically.

ego lite vs Vercel's agent-browser on complex browser automation tasks

Download the macOS app for your architecture. The first time, ego lite asks whether to migrate your Chrome data.

In your agent CLI, type /ego-browser followed by what you want in plain language:

                        ego-browser follow @ego_agent on x.com for me
                    

The agent opens the page in its own Space, reads a Snapshot, acts on the page, and reports back while your tabs stay untouched.
