What ego(lite) does

Free Chromium-based browser built to be shared with AI agents. Its ego-browser skill lets Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents that run shell commands drive the browser in an isolated 'Space' (type /ego-browser plus the task), using your existing Chrome logins imported in one click, while you keep using your own tabs. Agents write one JavaScript snippet per multi-step action instead of one tool call per step.

Good for

Have Claude Code research and compare vendors/tools across official sites and return a table
Collect invoices from logged-in portals (Stripe, Shopify, bank) for month-end, then review before paying
Pull leads or competitor posts from pages behind your logins

Agent inherits all your logged-in sessions, and the Windows Claude Code guide says to enable 'Bypass permissions': test on a separate browser profile without banking/admin logins. @kimmonismus's thread used a link.ego.app referral link, so treat it as possibly sponsored.
