What it does
Write and run complex browser automations with Puppeteer or Playwright, without the hosting headaches. With v2.0, we now host headless Chrome, Firefox and Webkit. Plus, there are new extra features such as our NodeJS SDK and residential proxy.
Give your AI agents a real cloud browser that won't crash or get blocked. Connect over MCP, Puppeteer, or Playwright with stealth and Authenticated Profiles built in.
Bring your own agent and library, or run ours. Stealth, CAPTCHA, residential proxies, and authenticated profiles that persist and scale to thousands. Your agent gets in, and gets it done. Trusted by 2,000+ teams , from solo devs to global enterprise. Connect over the protocol you already use, stay logged in across runs, and let Browserless eat the stealth and bot-detection headaches so your code doesn't have to. Give your agent search, scrape, and crawl tools over MCP. Plug in Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client and let it pull live web data without getting blocked. Run our Browserless agent instead of building one. It drives a real browser across multi-step tasks and finishes them, fast and…from browserless.io

Owl BrowserJan 2026 · owlbrowser.net · ▲145I've been working on browser automation infrastructure for a while and kept hitting the same ceiling: Playwright and Puppeteer are great for scripting but fall apart when you need stealth at scale. Cloud-based solutions like Browserbase work but you're sending all your data to a third party and can't control the environment. So we built Owl Browser, a self-hosted Chromium-based engine that runs in a single Docker container. The core technical problem we tried to solve was fingerprint consistency. Most browser automation tools either ignore fingerprinting entirely or apply surface-level…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
