Parallel Web Automation: Meet Ego-Lite
AI coding agents are increasingly taking on web-based tasks—such as filing bug reports, checking deployment dashboards, and scraping documentation. However, traditional browsers were built strictly for human interaction. When an AI agent automates Chrome via Playwright or Selenium, it often steals focus, moves your mouse, or requires complex login workarounds.
Ego-Lite is an open-source browser developed by CitroLabs to solve this interaction bottleneck. Designed ground-up for co-browsing, it allows humans and AI agents to operate simultaneously in separate, isolated spaces.
What is Ego-Lite?
Ego-Lite is a desktop browser optimized for agentic workflows. Instead of treating automated tools as external scripts, Ego-Lite treats AI agents as first-class collaborators.
