Ego lite gives AI agents isolated browser workspaces in your real Chromium context
Ego lite is a Chromium-based browser that gives AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex their own isolated workspaces inside a real browser context, complete with login sessions and extensions, so agents can handle complex web workflows without disrupting normal browsing.
Score breakdown
Ego lite removes the last-mile browser bottleneck for coding agents by letting them operate inside authenticated, real-world browser sessions rather than blank headless profiles where login flows and two-factor authentication break automation.
- 01Ego lite is a Chromium-based browser that gives AI agents isolated workspaces inside the user's real browser context.
- 02Compatible tools include Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, and ego.
- 03On first launch, ego lite can migrate Chrome data: bookmarks, extensions, cookies, login sessions, profiles, history, and browser state.
Ego lite is a Chromium-based browser built to close the gap between AI agent capabilities and real-world browser workflows. The core problem it addresses is that most browser automation tools run agents in blank, headless browser profiles, causing them to get stuck at login screens, two-factor authentication prompts, and dynamic UIs — turning simple tasks into long chains of click-wait-screenshot steps that burn tokens. Ego lite's approach is to make the browser itself agent-ready rather than attaching a browser to an agent as an afterthought. Agents get their own isolated workspaces inside the same browser the user operates daily, keeping the user's tabs, login state, and normal setup intact while the agent works in parallel.
Ego-browser is code-based, allowing agents to compose browser workflows with JavaScript rather than slow step-by-step CLI actions.
On first launch, ego lite can migrate Chrome data including bookmarks, extensions, cookies, login sessions, profiles, history, and browser state, so agents can immediately operate inside authenticated tools like LinkedIn, Gmail, Notion, CRMs, and staging apps. Ego-browser is code-based, allowing agents to compose browser workflows with JavaScript rather than slow step-by-step CLI actions. A built-in snapshot system provides agents with a semantic view of webpages to help navigate complex pages, widgets, iframes, and dynamic UIs. Tools named as compatible include Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, and ego itself. Practical use cases described include QA testing, staging app verification, LinkedIn and X research, lead enrichment, and form-heavy workflows. Ego lite is currently free and macOS-focused, with Windows and Linux support planned.
