Anchor Browser runs fully managed, stealth Chromium instances in the cloud so AI agents can navigate websites, log in, fill forms, and extract data like a human would. It ships built-in authentication (OmniConnect), an enterprise VPN, a Web Action Cache for deterministic workflows, and scales to many parallel sessions. The Chromium fork is verified by Cloudflare's Web-Bot-Auth to survive bot detection.

Pros & cons

  • Stealth Chromium resists bot detection
  • Built-in auth (OmniConnect) and VPN
  • Scales to many parallel sessions
  • Deployable in your own cloud
  • Free tier with 5 concurrent browsers
  • Closed source
  • Usage metered in credits
  • Newer, smaller track record
  • Overkill for simple scraping jobs

    Browserbase

    Headless browser infrastructure for AI agents.

    Managed cloud fleet of headless browsers that let AI agents browse, authenticate, and act on the web at scale. Sessions ship with stealth proxies, automated CAPTCHA solving, and observability, driven via API or the open-source Stagehand framework. Usage-based billing on top of a monthly base plan.

    Steel

    Nen Labs

    Open-source browser API for AI agents and apps.

    A batteries-included headless-browser sandbox that lets AI agents automate the web without managing browser infrastructure. Steel handles sessions, cookies, proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and page-to-markdown/screenshot/PDF conversion behind a single API, built on Puppeteer and the Chrome DevTools Protocol. Run the open-source image locally via Docker or use Steel Cloud's managed browser fleet.

    Hyperbrowser

    Hyperbrowser

    Cloud headless-browser infrastructure for AI agents.

    Managed cloud platform that gives AI agents scalable headless browser sessions with built-in stealth mode, proxy rotation, and CAPTCHA solving. Sessions launch in under a second and are driven via API with Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium. It also offers HyperAgent, an open-source framework that extends Playwright with natural-language commands, and an official MCP server so LLMs like Claude can browse the live web.

    Browser Use

    Browser Use

    Open-source browser automation for AI agents.

    MIT-licensed Python framework that connects AI agents to a real browser to navigate, fill forms, extract data, and run multi-step web workflows. It parses the live DOM into a structured view so any model — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Qwen, DeepSeek — can act on it. A hosted Browser Use Cloud adds managed sessions and a fully-hosted agent.
