Ego Lite
Ego Lite is a Chromium-based browser designed for use alongside an AI agent. Its publisher describes sharing existing browser sessions with tools such as coding agents, so they can work on sites that require a login. The Mac download is offered free; the homepage invites Windows users to receive updates rather than presenting a Windows download.
Bring an existing browser session
The publisher says onboarding can migrate Chrome bookmarks, passwords, extensions, cookies, and profiles. That lets an agent reach accounts already signed in, avoiding a separate blank browser session for every task. Review which profile and accounts you migrate before allowing an agent to use them.
The ego-browser skill is the connection between the agent and browser. The documentation describes page snapshots and actions such as reading, filling fields, and clicking. Ego Lite is the browser side of that arrangement; you still need an agent capable of running the integration.
Separate workspaces do not replace permissions
The project calls its workspaces Spaces. It says an agent can work in its own Space while you continue using other tabs. That separation is intended to prevent competing tasks from interfering with your browsing, though Franklin has not tested concurrent sessions.
An agent using an authenticated session may be able to modify records or submit forms. Give it a bounded task and keep consequential actions subject to review. The quick-start documentation includes examples that stop before a final application submission or payment. Its installation instructions are not a reason to grant unrestricted account access.
Evaluate privacy and performance separately
Ego Lite says browsing data stays on your computer. That browser-storage statement does not establish how a connected agent or its model provider handles page content. Review both products' data policies before using confidential accounts.
The publisher makes speed and token-saving comparisons against other automation tools. Franklin has not reproduced those benchmarks. Test the actual task, login requirements, and permission controls you need rather than assuming a headline multiplier will apply to your workflow.
