Browserbase

Verified 19 Aug 2026

Headless browsers as a service for agents that must click.

Editorial take

If the factory’s signal is a web app, the sandbox is a browser, not a microVM. Browserbase is that product. It will not compile your Go service. Steal/Steel and others compete; we list this as the common hosted browser primitive.

Strengths

Real browser sessions for agents, with an API.
Avoids running Chrome next to production secrets on a laptop.
Fits computer-use and QA agents.

Limitations

Cloud browsers, not a repo workspace.
Closed source.
Cost and ban/proxy issues are operational, not solved by the SDK.
