A small, fast Rust CLI that drives a real browser over the Chrome DevTools Protocol, designed for coding agents and shell pipelines. It exposes page snapshots with stable element refs, raw CDP access, and event/network/console tracing as composable subcommands.
Use cases
- automate a browser from shell commands for a coding agent
- click and interact with page elements using stable refs instead of brittle selectors
- scrape or snapshot web page content as text or JSON
- run raw CDP commands or JavaScript in a live browser
- drive remote cloud browser sessions from one CLI
- debug browser automation failures with event and console traces
When to choose
- your agent or script can run shell commands and needs browser control without an SDK or MCP server
- you want a single static binary with no language lock-in
- you need LLM-friendly element refs and self-diagnosing traces
- you want to switch between local Chrome and cloud browser providers with the same commands
When to avoid
- you need a full end-to-end testing framework with assertions and fixtures
- you prefer a high-level SDK in a specific language like Playwright or Selenium
- you need to automate non-Chromium browsers like Firefox or Safari
- you want a GUI for recording browser interactions
