citrolabs/ego-lite Gains 986 Stars in a Day — a Browser That Hands Agents JavaScript Functions Instead of a CLI, Inheriting Your Chrome Logins

GitHub·high signal

ego-lite hit 3,112 stars with +986 today, landing at #3 on GitHub daily trending. It is an MIT-licensed browser where agents work in isolated 'Spaces' in parallel with the user's own tabs, and an opt-in Chrome data migration lets agents inherit existing cookies, logins, and extensions rather than re-authenticating. The architectural bet worth noting: it exposes browser capabilities as JavaScript functions the agent calls directly, so multi-step tasks compose into a single execution instead of iterative command/response round-trips — an explicit token-consumption argument against CLI-driven browser automation.
