Everything you need to know about browser automation
Guides, insights, comparisons, and reviews across Playwright MCP, Browser Use, Chrome DevTools MCP, coding agents, and the browsers they drive.
GuidesSet Up a Remote Browser Workspace with Codex and Docker
Codex Remote is a phone talking to your Mac. Docker Sandboxes run Codex in a sandbox. Playwright Docker is the browser you can view over noVNC. Assemble them on purpose.
GuidesBrowser Automation That Survives UI Changes
Durable browser automation needs more than stable selectors. The right choice depends on whether the workflow is a maintained regression path or changing live work.
GuidesPersistent Browser Sessions Across Agent Runs
A session that survives one run and dies on the next is the most common agent failure that looks like an application bug. Here is the full lifecycle: how to establish, preserve, verify, isolate, expire, and recover a browser session, with the profile-lock and session-cookie traps named.
GuidesHow to connect AI agents to your existing browser
The most-requested agent capability across forums and issue trackers, mapped honestly: four routes with their mechanisms and risks, the combined solution they point to, and the two questions that pick yours.
GuidesAI Scraping Behind Login Walls: X and LinkedIn (2026)
Scraping behind a login is three routes, not one: inject a session, reuse a real browser's session, or point a no-code tool at it. For X and LinkedIn, collect only what the signed-in account is allowed to read, record evidence, and never treat a login as permission to bypass controls.
GuidesWhat is an MCP server? A practical guide for 2026
Most explainers list the benefits. Almost none tell you what a server costs you per step, or how to decide whether you need one. This one does both, using the protocol's own spec and its biggest maintainers' own words.
GuidesAgent harness: what it is, how to build one, how to choose
Agent equals model plus harness. Three authorities currently disagree about where a harness ends and a runtime begins, so this starts by settling that, then builds one in forty lines, then looks at the part almost nobody writes about: what the agent actually sees on the web.
GuidesContext engineering for browser agents: what an observation costs
Almost every article on this term uses text-only examples. Across the top 24 results, 19 fetchable pages and 64,225 words, "accessibility tree", "screenshot" and "browser automation" each appear zero times. That is the gap this fills.
GuidesBrowser agent with local Ollama models: setup and limits
A local model can drive a real browser, but only when tool calling, context length, and memory line up. This guide wires Ollama to Playwright MCP, Browser Use, and the ego (lite) ego-browser skill, then shows where local agents fail first.
