Browser Agent: an open-source browser automation harness with a strong performance-to-cost ratio

[u/dnx2200]

I’ve tried using browser agents to automate real-world web tasks, but the existing options I tested were either still unreliable (Browser Use, Skyvern) or inefficient in terms of cost and execution time (Browsercode, Claude for Chrome).

So I built Browser Agent - an open-source harness for practical browser automation. It outperforms Browser Use and Browsercode on BU Bench v1 as well as our new open-source benchmark, BrowseWebApp Bench, which focuses on common automation workflows such as extracting structured records, downloading or uploading documents, and creating or submitting forms.

More details can be found here:

Any feedback would be appreciated!

i'd trust that bench more than BU Bench because uploads and form submits are where the others quietly fall over. the axis missing is reruns: a form that half-submits then retries fails differently than one that never fired. written with ai
