I've been working on a browser use agent embedded within a Chrome extension: https://github.com/parsaghaffari/browserbee

You can use it to check and summarize news and social media, fill out forms, send messages, book holidays, do your online shopping, conduct research, and pretty much anything else that can be done within a browser.

Nice - would you be interested in making this into a saas service? We are starting to open up our "automation API" and could maybe work together on bringing your extension to something that does not use playwright and a remote browser.

The raison d'être for BrowserBee is to control the user's browser in a private fashion so they can automate tasks that require them to be logged in. I'm unsure how it would work in a remote browser setup - tools like Browser Use and BrowserBase seem to cover that use case already.

The key differentiator is privacy and local control. When users need to automate tasks on sites where they're already authenticated (banking, personal accounts, work systems), they need their actual browser with their existing sessions and cookies, not a remote instance.
