ego (lite) launches Windows beta with shared browser access for Claude, Codex and other agents

ego (lite), a browser built for AI agents, has released a Windows beta after previously being available only on macOS. Through the "ego-browser" Skill, users can let existing agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor operate the browser directly. The product is built on Chromium and supports one-click import of Chrome bookmarks, extensions, cookies and login sessions, allowing agents to work inside already signed-in services including Gmail, X and enterprise back-office systems. Each agent runs in its own Space, so multiple tasks can proceed in parallel without taking over the tabs a user is actively using. Users can step in at any point for checkpoints such as CAPTCHAs or payments. ego (lite) also changes how agents read and act on webpages by generating a simplified page structure that marks buttons, input fields and other elements instead of passing full HTML to the model. Agents can bundle several actions into a single JavaScript sequence, which cuts tool calls and token usage. In internal testing across four browser tasks, the company said ego (lite) was up to 3.45 times faster than Vercel's agent-browser.
