ego lite vs Vercel's agent-browser on complex browser automation tasks
Everything you need to know about ego lite, the fastest browser for AI agents
ego lite is a specialized browser designed for AI agents to run browser automation tasks efficiently. It allows you and your AI agents to work in parallel within the same browser environment. Your agents run tasks in isolated "Spaces" while your personal tabs remain untouched, providing zero friction and zero configuration browser automation.
ego lite creates dedicated, isolated workspaces called "Spaces" for each AI agent. When an agent needs to perform a browser task, it uses the ego-browser skill to interact with a specific Space. The agent writes JavaScript code that calls browser functions (snapshot, click, fill, etc.), which ego lite executes in the background. This allows complex tasks to complete faster with fewer tokens while you continue browsing normally.
ego lite works with any AI agent that supports custom skills, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and custom agent implementations. The ego-browser skill provides a standardized interface that allows any compatible agent to control browser automation tasks.
Yes, ego lite is completely free with no hidden costs. The browser app and ego-browser skill are both available at no charge. We believe in democratizing browser automation for everyone.
Your data stays on your device. ego lite only records whether you opted into Chrome data migration during setup. All browsing activity remains local to your machine. The browser doesn't send your browsing history, cookies, or personal data to any external servers.
Currently, ego lite runs on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon). Windows and Linux support are planned for future releases. You'll need at least 8GB of RAM and a modern processor for optimal performance.
Yes! During setup, ego lite can migrate your existing Chrome data including extensions, bookmarks, cookies, and saved passwords. This ensures your agents inherit all your existing logins and preferences automatically.
Unlike traditional automation frameworks (like Browser-Use) that require a separate browser to drive, ego lite is a purpose-built browser designed for human-AI collaboration. Unlike AI browsers (like ChatGPT Atlas) that lock you into a specific agent, ego lite works with any agent you prefer. It supports parallel multitasking, reusable skills, and maintains your browser state - features other tools lack.
Benchmark tests show ego lite completes complex tasks up to 2.5× faster than alternatives like agent-browser, with substantially fewer tokens. This is achieved through our code-based approach where agents write JavaScript functions directly rather than getting stuck in command-response loops. The performance advantage grows with task complexity.
Download the macOS app from our website or install the ego-browser skill using npx skills add citrolabs/ego-lite. During first launch, you'll be prompted to migrate your Chrome data. Then, in your agent CLI, use /ego-browser followed by your task description to get started immediately.
Run multiple agents simultaneously in isolated Spaces. No tab conflicts or resource contention.
Automatically migrate your logins, cookies, extensions, and bookmarks during setup.
Agents write JavaScript functions directly for faster execution with fewer tokens.
Handles complex page structures like nested iframes better than any other tool.
Works out of the box with minimal setup. Just install and start automating.
Successful tasks are distilled into reusable tools and workflows for future efficiency.

ego lite vs Vercel's agent-browser on complex browser automation tasks
Download the macOS app for your architecture. During first launch, migrate your Chrome data for seamless agent access.
In your agent CLI, use /ego-browser followed by your task description:
ego-browser follow @ego_agent on x.com for me
The agent opens the page in its own Space, performs the task, and reports back while your tabs stay untouched.
