What is it?

ego lite is a desktop browser for macOS and Windows where you and your AI agents work in parallel. Each agent runs its browser tasks in its own isolated Space inside the same browser, so an agent never takes control of the window you are using. Agents can reuse your existing logins, cookies and bookmarks, which can be imported from Chrome on first launch.

Agents connect through the ego-browser skill, which works with agent CLIs such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Instead of issuing one command at a time, the agent writes a JavaScript snippet that calls in-page tools for snapshot, fill, click, wait, navigate and capture, and runs it on the page in one pass. Page snapshots are structured text the model can read.

The project positions itself against browser bridges like browser-use and agent-browser, which need a separate browser and often lose your login state. Browsing data stays on your device.

Key features

  • 01Each agent gets an isolated Space, so agents and your own browsing do not interfere.
  • 02Reuses your Chrome logins, cookies, extensions and bookmarks after import.
  • 03ego-browser lets agents like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor drive the browser through JavaScript.
  • 04Runs multi-step tasks as a single script instead of many back-and-forth tool calls.
  • 05Supports running multiple agent tasks in parallel across separate Spaces.
  • 06Browsing data is stored locally on your device.

Use cases

  • Letting Claude Code or Codex fill in forms or scrape pages while you keep browsing.
  • Running several parallel scraping or research tasks across different sites.
  • Automating web tasks that require your existing logged-in accounts.
  • Reducing CAPTCHA friction for agent tasks on sites you already use.
