ego (lite)Verified tool

ego (lite) is an agent-native browser for running web automation through AI agents such as Claude Code and Codex while preserving access to your existing logged-in browser state. It is built on Chromium and is available for Mac.

What it does

Lets compatible AI agents perform browser tasks in logged-in websites, across tabs, logins, and separate workspaces called Spaces.

• Enables agents to run tasks in their own Space so their browser activity does not disturb the user's workspace.
• Connects agents through the ego-browser skill, which can be installed once for agents on a Mac that can write code.

Key features

• Imports an existing Chrome setup in one click and is designed to work like Chrome for everyday browsing.
• Supports parallel browser automation tasks, with each task running in its own Space to reduce collisions.
• Uses in-page JavaScript actions rather than relying on one tool call at a time.
• Provides semantic snapshots built into its custom Chromium engine.
• Reaches into cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM, and third-party SDK widgets, including Stripe, Salesforce, Intercom, and React portals.
• Supports external-agent control for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kiro, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, and other code-writing agents.
• Keeps data stored locally, according to the site's feature comparison.

What makes it different

ego (lite) is designed to combine a daily-use Chromium browser, an AI agent browser runtime, and the connection layer between them.

• It shares the user's logged-in browser state with agents while separating agent and user workspaces.
• The site states that complex tasks can finish up to 3.45x faster than agent-browser while using fewer tokens, and that the browser can help agents avoid friction from captchas, 2FA, and SSO redirects when using the existing browser setup.
