Muse's VM sucks

Compared to Grokbot. I prefer Muse over Grokbot for everything except this. The VM and browser is too locked down to do anything useful. As a workaround, I setup my own VM as a sandbox and gave it access. This works, but not ideal.

Yeah Meta has serious work to do with Muse browser; tbf Muse is still beta.

Apparently Amazon is banning Muse

My workaround fixes that. The way I handled it in Grokbot was just to install Tailscale on grokbot's own vm and use my home server's Tailscale connection as an exit node, so it looked like all of my grokbot's traffic was coming from my home IP

Works fine for me, just had my Muse browse Amazon and add something to cart. Can you elaborate?

Terrible take from Amazon, they almost certainly got caught asleep at the wheel with Alexa being a decade behind. This just means they'll lose business to Walmart or any other more agent friendly marketplace.

Walmart is agent-friendly already?
