ego-lite gained 986 stars in a day handing agents JavaScript functions instead of a CLI.

citrolabs/ego-lite hit 3,112 stars at #3 on daily trending. MIT-licensed browser where agents work in isolated "Spaces" in parallel with your own tabs, with an opt-in Chrome data migration letting agents inherit your existing cookies, logins and extensions rather than re-authenticating. The architectural bet: expose browser capabilities as JavaScript functions the agent calls directly, so multi-step tasks compose into one execution instead of iterative command/response round-trips. That's an explicit token argument against CLI-driven browser automation. The Chrome-credential inheritance is also the scariest sentence in this section, so read it next to the Codex git-push story.
