Overview
Nanobrowser is an open-source AI agent that runs as a Chrome or Edge extension. You type a task in the side panel; it reads the pages, clicks, types and moves between tabs, and can save results such as a CSV table or a Markdown report to your Downloads folder. By default it asks before it submits, sends, deletes or uploads anything, and it hands payments and passwords to you. It works with your own key from a cloud model provider or a model on your computer, and suits anyone who repeats the same web chores.
It is free and runs in your own browser, and per-site rules let you allow, ask about or block what the agent may do.

Good to know
Hand repetitive browser work to an agent, such as comparing products open in several tabs or collecting headlines into a CSV file. It acts in your own browser and pauses for approval before steps that submit, send, delete or upload.
Limits
- Pages the agent reads go to the model you choose, and a daily anonymous count of users and usage is sent to the project. The README notes the agent may not notice every step that needs you.
- Only Chrome and Edge are supported. The README suggests keeping local models to simple, clear tasks.
