I’m yet to see an agent running inside a browser that doesn’t feel like a hack.
I tried a headless browser, but I can’t use my logins with it. I tried a Chrome extension, but it keeps killing my sessions.
The team behind ego’s whole argument is that browsers were never built
ego (@ego_agent): Browsers were never built for agents.
Those Chrome-bridging solutions, windows flying everywhere, login states breaking at random. Not bugs. Just bridge limits.
Same task. 20% to 245% faster. Not magic.
ego lite is rebuilt from the kernel up.
Your AI agents, Claude Code,
