The fastest browser for AI agents to run browser automation, built for sharing your logged-in browser state with your AI agents, like Codex or Claude Code, without disturbing you. Zero cost, zero config.
This repository page has enough original analysis, source evidence, and comparison context to be treated as an indexable Git-Stars review.

Problem solved
Unlike traditional browser automation frameworks (e.g., browser-use) that require a separate browser and cause login/tab conflicts, ego lite provides a single browser where agents and users coexist without interference. It solves the problem of agents needing clean access to user sessions and the ability to multitask without disrupting the user's browsing.
Deployment reality
The available setup signal starts with: npx skills add citrolabs/ego-lite. Treat this as a starting point, then ask Codex or Claude to inspect the README, environment variables, runtime version, and deployment target before production use.
Commercial use
The recorded license is MIT. This is a useful commercial-use signal, but teams should still verify license text, dependencies, model/API terms, and trademark constraints.
Capability ceiling
Developers can build agents that perform complex multi-step browser tasks (e.g., following social media accounts, filling forms, scraping data) up to 2.5× faster using a code-based approach instead of CLI commands. Agents can run multiple tasks in parallel Spaces, inherit user logins and cookies, and be monitored or interrupted by the user. Real-world use cases include automated social media management, data extraction, and workflow automation that requires persistent authenticated sessions.
Git-Stars is independent and not affiliated with GitHub or this project. Analysis may be AI-assisted and based on public repository metadata plus short README-derived summaries. We do not mirror full README files, docs, issues, or social comments.
citrolabs/ego-lite is tracked as a JavaScript project in the AI Agent, Automation, UI Framework area. This evaluation combines public GitHub metadata, category signals, short source summaries, and Git-Stars editorial rules rather than copying project documentation.
Momentum check: the repository has 11k total stars, with +545 today, +0 this week, and +0 this month. These growth windows help distinguish durable adoption from short-lived visibility spikes.
Maintenance check: current activity is Active; the latest push was 7 days ago, and the open issue queue is 107, about 0.98% of total stars. Treat this as an adoption signal, not a substitute for engineering due diligence.
Adoption check: 559 forks and 11k watchers suggest how often the project is reused or followed. License signal: MIT. Always verify license compatibility before commercial or internal use.
Practical fit: this project is most relevant when you need JavaScript teams evaluating ecosystem-native tooling. Be cautious when you need a legal review, security audit, or production SLA.
Source check: Git-Stars currently has 2 explicit source reference(s) for this report and a recent growth signal of 9.3k. Follow the original GitHub repository for final install, security, and release information.

ego lite is a browser designed for both human users and AI agents to work in parallel, allowing agents to run tasks in isolated Spaces while users browse normally. It provides a seamless integration with agent CLIs through the ego-browser skill, enabling agents to perform browser automation tasks without interfering with the user's tabs.
Key Features
- Agents run in isolated Spaces, allowing multitasking without interfering with user tabs. - Uses JavaScript functions for faster, more efficient task execution compared to CLI-based approaches. - Provides high-quality page snapshots that handle complex elements like nested iframes.
AI Agent
Agent frameworks, autonomous workflows, and tool-use systems
Automation
Workflow automation, integration glue, and orchestration
UI Framework
Frontend frameworks, design systems, and interface libraries

Capabilities
Developers can build agents that perform complex multi-step browser tasks (e.g., following social media accounts, filling forms, scraping data) up to 2.5× faster using a code-based approach instead of CLI commands. Agents can run multiple tasks in parallel Spaces, inherit user logins and cookies, and be monitored or interrupted by the user. Real-world use cases include automated social media management, data extraction, and workflow automation that requires persistent authenticated sessions.
Bottom Line
ego lite is ideal for developers and power users who want to delegate browser tasks to AI agents without losing control or dealing with setup overhead. It is currently macOS-only, so Windows/Linux users should wait. The key trade-off is that it requires trusting a new browser with your data, though it claims data stays on-device.
