By

The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
Browser Harness is a lightweight, self-healing browser automation tool built on Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) that gives LLMs direct control over browser tasks. It eliminates the need for frameworks, recipes, or rails by allowing the agent to write what's missing mid-task. The tool connects via a single WebSocket to Chrome and offers free remote browsers with features like proxies, captcha solving, and concurrent browser sessions.
