ego (lite)

What it is

ego (lite) is a Chromium-based browser from Citro Labs designed to be driven by AI agents. It imports your Chrome profile in one step, so sites you are already signed into stay signed in and agents inherit that access without re-authenticating. Agents connect through an ego-browser skill that works with command-line coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI, with no SDK or remote debugging setup. Tasks run in a separate Space so your own tabs and mouse stay untouched. The browser builds compact semantic page snapshots that can reach iframes and shadow DOM. It is free for individuals on macOS and Windows, with custom business plans.

Editor's notes

More context from AI BirdView

Getting an AI agent to work on sites that require a login is often the hardest part of browser automation, and ego (lite) tackles it directly. Because it imports your Chrome profile, the agent starts already signed in to the tools you use, while working in its own Space so it never takes over the window you are using.

Imports bookmarks, cookies and logins from Chrome in one click
Lets agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI connect through a single skill
Runs agent tasks in isolated Spaces, in parallel, without hijacking your mouse
Produces compact page snapshots that reach iframes, shadow DOM and embedded widgets
Keeps browsing data local and needs no account, with you supplying your own model key

ego (lite) is best for developers and technical operators who already use a coding agent and want it to handle web chores such as data collection, form filling or dashboard checks. The company publishes its own benchmarks comparing speed and cost with other browser tools, which are worth reviewing against your own tasks. A practical tip: start with a narrow, repeatable task on one site and watch the agent in its Space before handing it longer workflows.
