ego (lite)

What ego (lite) is
ego (lite) is a Chromium-based browser for macOS that lets AI agents carry out tasks through a browser session already logged in to the user’s accounts. Users and agents can work in separate Spaces, and agents can run tasks in parallel Spaces up to the limits of the user’s machine. The ego-browser skill connects command-line agents to in-page JavaScript tools for taking page snapshots, filling fields, clicking, waiting, navigating, and capturing content. The maker names Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Continue, Gemini CLI, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, and OpenCode, and says any agent able to run a shell command can connect.
Onboarding can copy Chrome tabs, tab groups, bookmarks, saved passwords, extensions, cookies, login sessions, and profiles. Page snapshots use about 200–400 tokens per page, according to the pricing page. The maker says ego (lite) can reach content in cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM, and third-party widgets, with Stripe, Salesforce, and Intercom among the examples. It also says browsing history, cookies, login sessions, and content read by an agent stay on the user’s computer. The privacy policy says usage analytics are sent to the maker’s servers, and crash reports may be uploaded when enabled; that option starts on during setup. The download page describes the product as beta. It is free for individuals, while a custom-priced Business plan is offered to teams and companies.
