Built for agent workflows where you need the browser to stay alive between commands instead of spinning up fresh instances every time. Gives you 15+ command categories covering everything from navigation to cookie management, with three browser modes including headless Chromium and real Chrome with profile support. The real win is session continuity, so your agent can click around, extract data, then come back later without losing context. Also handles cloud sessions and local tunneling via Cloudflare if you need to expose localhost. The v1.57 update switched from Chromium to Chrome for Testing builds, which means more authentic behavior but a different browser chrome. Use this when you're automating multi-step workflows and don't want to deal with authentication or session state repeatedly.
