Tor Browser
Browser for using Tor on Windows, Mac OS X or Linux
Tor Browser enables you to use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. Tor is a software that bounces your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers. This effectively prevents anyone watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit; it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location; and allows you access to sites which are blocked. Tor Browser can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained (portable). -

Selenium
Browser automation framework and ecosystem
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well. If you want to create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, scale and distribute scripts across many environments, then you want to use Selenium WebDriver, a collection of language specific bindings to drive a browser - the way it is meant to be driven. If you want to create quick bug reproduction scripts, create scripts to aid in automation-aided exploratory testing, then you want to use Selenium IDE; a Chrome and Firefox add-on that will do simple record-and-playback of interactions with the browser. If you want to scale by distributing and running tests on several machines and manage multiple environments from a central point. -

BrowserOS
Agentic browser; privacy-first alternative to ChatGPT Atlas
BrowserOS is an open-source, agentic web browser built on a Chromium base that integrates AI agents directly into the browsing experience. Rather than just doing standard browsing, it places AI intelligence at the core: you can connect your own API keys (for e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini) or run local models (via e.g., Ollama) so that your browsing data and automation stay on your machine — privacy and control are emphasized throughout. The interface remains familiar to users of Chrome (including support for Chrome extensions), but adds new capabilities: the browser can automate tasks for you, help you research by extracting and summarizing content, and enable agent-based workflows (e.g., “go fetch this info,” “fill this form,” “monitor this site”). The project is community-driven and entirely open source under the AGPL-3.0 license, which means you can inspect, fork, and contribute to the codebase. -

Waterfox
Privacy browser built for users who value customization & control
Waterfox is a free, open-source web browser and fork of Mozilla Firefox that’s built for users who prioritize privacy, performance, and customizability while still maintaining compatibility with modern web standards and extensions. It began as a 64-bit-focused fork and has grown into a full-featured browser available on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, making it a versatile alternative to mainstream browsers. Waterfox removes or disables much of Firefox’s telemetry and unnecessary data collection by default, giving users greater control over what is shared with third parties while still supporting classic and modern add-ons. The project emphasizes speed and efficiency through optimizations and choice, letting users tweak settings or install favored extensions without being locked into ecosystem constraints. Because it’s open source and actively developed by the community, new features, security updates, and performance improvements arrive regularly to align with web standards. -

geckodriver
WebDriver for Firefox
geckodriver is an implementation of WebDriver, and WebDriver can be used for widely different purposes. How you invoke geckodriver largely depends on your use case. If you are using geckodriver through Selenium, you must ensure that you have version 3.11 or greater. Because geckodriver implements the W3C WebDriver standard and not the same Selenium wire protocol older drivers are using, you may experience incompatibilities and migration problems when making the switch from FirefoxDriver to geckodriver. Generally speaking, Selenium 3 enabled geckodriver as the default WebDriver implementation for Firefox. With the release of Firefox 47, FirefoxDriver had to be discontinued for its lack of support for the new multi-processing architecture in Gecko. Since geckodriver is a separate HTTP server that is a complete remote end implementation of WebDriver, it is possible to avoid using the Selenium remote server if you have no requirements to distribute processes across a matrix of systems. -

Lightpanda Browser
Lightpanda: the headless browser designed for AI and automation
Lightpanda is an open-source headless browser designed specifically for automation, artificial intelligence workflows, and large-scale web interaction tasks. Unlike traditional browsers that include full graphical rendering engines meant for human users, Lightpanda is built from scratch to operate entirely in headless mode, focusing only on the components required for programmatic web interaction. This design allows it to execute JavaScript and interact with web pages while avoiding the overhead associated with rendering images, fonts, and layout elements intended for visual display. The browser is implemented using the Zig programming language and integrates the V8 JavaScript engine to run modern web applications and scripts efficiently. Because it avoids graphical rendering and other heavy browser components, the system uses significantly less memory and launches almost instantly compared to conventional browsers such as Chrome. -

Don't waste your time with compliance. Universal Bypass circumvents annoying link shorteners. Universal Bypass bypasses templates that are used on thousands of domains and it would be impossible for me to keep a complete list of domains that are bypassed. You would have to get a new Universal Bypass version and accept its new permissions for each new bypass. Custom Bypasses would be pretty pointless if you could only create them for sites that are already bypassed. Also known in the options as "Give and take the destinations of unbypassable shorteners.", this feature exists to bypass a respectable amount of link shorteners using CAPTCHAs and other forms of backend validation to make sure you've actually waited before you can proceed to the target link, to share this target with other Universal Bypass users, who come across the same link in the future, so they can proceed to the target immediately.

Jev Ultrafast
A browser agent with a dynamic, indexed action space
Jev Ultrafast is an experimental browser agent built around a dynamic, indexed action space for fast web interaction. Each browser state is converted into a numbered table of currently available interactive elements. A policy chooses both an operation and a compatible target in a single network round trip. Supported actions include clicking, typing, selecting, scrolling, waiting, finishing, and reporting that a task is blocked. A small language model is invoked only when text must actually be generated for a typing action. The agent connects to Chrome through Browser Harness and provides an inspector showing elements, probabilities, decisions, and executed actions. Its design avoids site-specific scripts and instead relies on fresh observations of the live page. -

FlareSolverr
Proxy server to bypass Cloudflare protection
FlareSolverr is a proxy server to bypass Cloudflare and DDoS-GUARD protection. FlareSolverr starts a proxy server, and it waits for user requests in an idle state using few resources. When some request arrives, it uses puppeteer with the stealth plugin to create a headless browser (Firefox). It opens the URL with user parameters and waits until the Cloudflare challenge is solved (or timeout). The HTML code and the cookies are sent back to the user, and those cookies can be used to bypass Cloudflare using other HTTP clients. Web browsers consume a lot of memory. If you are running FlareSolverr on a machine with few RAM, do not make many requests at once. With each request, a new browser is launched. It is also possible to use a permanent session. However, if you use sessions, you should make sure to close them as soon as you are done using them. It is recommended to install using a Docker container because the project depends on an external browser that is already included.
