What is Ego Lite?
Ego Lite is an open-source browser built specifically for AI agents. It lets tools like Codex or Claude Code operate inside your logged-in browser session — running automation, clicking, navigating and scraping on your behalf — while keeping your own main browser free for your work. It is zero cost, zero config and MIT licensed.
Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.
Pros: what Ego Lite does well
- Lets AI agents reuse your logged-in session without taking over your main browser
- Open source and free with no configuration required
- Built for popular coding agents like Codex and Claude Code
Cons: where it falls short
- Early-stage project; some workflows may need community support
- Requires comfort letting an agent drive a browser session
Who Ego Lite is for
Developers, automation builders and AI-coding teams who want a dedicated, shareable browser for agents to run web automation securely.
Who can skip it
Users who only need occasional, simple browser automation and prefer not to share logged-in sessions with an agent.
