Overview

Browserbase provides managed headless browser infrastructure designed for AI agents and automation workflows. It handles the underlying complexity of running, scaling, and observing browsers in the cloud, letting developers focus on agent logic rather than provisioning Chromium instances. The platform supports real-time interaction with live browser sessions, session recording for debugging, and integrations with popular automation frameworks like Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium. It also offers features such as stealth mode, proxies, and file handling to support a range of web-based agent tasks across platforms.

Use cases

Run AI agents on live websites at scale

Deploy AI agents that browse and interact with websites using managed cloud Chromium instances, scaling horizontally without provisioning servers.

Debug agent behavior with session replay

Use live session view and replay to observe how agents navigate pages, diagnose failures, and refine automation logic.

Automate web tasks with Playwright or Puppeteer

Connect existing Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium scripts to Browserbase's cloud browsers for parallel execution and file handling.

Scrape and access protected sites

Leverage built-in proxies and stealth browsing to collect data or run agent workflows on sites that block standard automation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Eliminates need to self-host browser infrastructure
Works with standard tools like Playwright and Puppeteer
Session replay aids debugging of agent behavior
Built-in proxies and stealth options
Scales horizontally for parallel browser sessions

Cons

Usage-based pricing can grow with heavy workloads
Requires developer skills to integrate
Performance depends on target site complexity

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium support is exactly what I needed, and scales horizontally for parallel browser sessions. I do wish performance depends on target site complexity, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: aPIs and SDKs for agent frameworks and works with standard tools like Playwright and Puppeteer. On balance the feature set — especially file upload and download handling — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.

Years in this space

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is proxy and stealth browsing options — handled better than most — and works with standard tools like Playwright and Puppeteer. Usage-based pricing can grow with heavy workloads is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.
