Browse.sh

Browse.sh is an open catalog and command-line browser for AI agents. Install the browse CLI to add website-specific skills, drive local Chromium with low-level browser primitives, inspect network and console output, and use remote sessions on Browserbase’s platform by prefixing commands with cloud. It is a developer-controlled browser layer rather than a general-purpose chatbot or no-code scraper.

✨ Key Features

• Open web skill catalog — Search the catalog and add reusable skills for specific websites, including suggested DOM selectors and XHR requests.
• Local Chromium control — Open pages and use commands such as click, type, select, press, hover, scroll, and screenshot against selectors or accessibility references.
• Agent-friendly CLI — Let an AI agent compose repeatable browser commands while keeping the browser interaction visible and scriptable.
• Network and console debugging — Tail requests and browser-console output in real time to inspect page behavior, API responses, warnings, and errors.
• Cloud session switching — Prefix commands with cloud to create and operate remote Chromium sessions on Browserbase’s platform.
• Cloud search and fetch — Use the cloud mode’s Search and Fetch APIs for web retrieval without manually driving a page for every lookup.
• Website-specific recipes — Add a skill for a domain and use its documented selectors, endpoints, parameters, and workflow notes as agent context.
• Browser primitives for complex flows — Combine navigation, form filling, clicking, screenshots, and accessibility references when a normal API is unavailable.
• Open-source installation — Install the CLI with npm i -g browse; the public site documents commands and catalog usage rather than requiring a hosted dashboard for local automation.

💳 Pricing

• Local CLI and open catalog — The reviewed public pages document free installation and open catalog usage, but do not publish a paid plan table or a complete hosted-service price list.
• Cloud sessions — Browse.sh documents remote Browserbase sessions, Cloud Search, and Cloud Fetch, but the reviewed Browse.sh pages do not state the applicable Browserbase subscription, session, proxy, or API rates.

Pricing note — Treat local CLI usage and cloud infrastructure as separate cost surfaces. Confirm current Browserbase pricing, quotas, authentication requirements, proxy costs, and retention terms before using remote sessions in production; no free hosted commitment is asserted here.

⚖️ Alternatives Compared

🎯 Use Cases

• Repeatable website workflow — Add a domain skill, then let an agent execute documented selectors and browser commands for a recurring task.
• UI-only automation — Fill forms, click through multi-step interfaces, and capture screenshots when the target site has no usable API.
• Browser debugging — Reproduce a failing interaction while tailing network requests and console errors to locate the actual page problem.
• Agent tool development — Give an AI agent a small, composable CLI surface for navigation, interaction, and page inspection.
• Remote Chromium execution — Move a local command sequence to a Browserbase cloud session when remote infrastructure is required.
• Web research retrieval — Use Cloud Search or Cloud Fetch for lookup and page retrieval, reserving interactive browser control for pages that need it.
• Skill catalog maintenance — Package selectors, XHR details, parameters, and workflow notes for a website so future agent runs need less discovery.
