What each product actually is

Tabbit

An AI-native browser for humans

Tabbit is a full desktop browser rebuilt around AI. You open websites, manage tabs, chat with pages, run agents, and automate routines without leaving the browser.

Built for daily work: research, writing, ops, and content creation.
Agent Mode runs tasks in parallel while you keep browsing.
No code required: describe what you want in plain language.

Browser Run

Browser infrastructure for AI agents

Browser Run, browser-use, and similar tools give AI agents a browser they can control through an API or SDK. The end user is usually another machine, not a person.

Built for developers who are building agents or automation pipelines.
Provides CDP endpoints, live views, recordings, and scalable sessions.
Requires code to set up, orchestrate, and handle outcomes.

Adoption path

Three ways to think about the choice

01

Start with Tabbit if you want a smarter browser

Replace your default browser and let Agent Mode handle research, forms, summaries, and multi-tab workflows while you supervise.

02

Start with Browser Run if you are shipping an agent

Give your agent a browser backend with session recording, live view, and CDP access so it can act on the web reliably.

03

Combine both if you build and browse

Use Tabbit for the work you do by hand and Browser Run or browser-use for the agents you deploy to users.

Where Tabbit fits

Tabbit is built for the browsing work that is too messy to script

Most daily web tasks are not deterministic enough for automation frameworks. Tabbit handles them with context-aware agents that collaborate with you inside a real browser.

Agent Mode

Describe a goal and let Tabbit open tabs, read pages, fill forms, and deliver results in parallel with your own browsing.

Omnibox with context

Type @ to cite the current tab, a tab group, a screenshot, a bookmark, or a local file as context for any task.

Skills marketplace

Save prompts and scripts as reusable shortcuts, or discover and install skills shared by the community.

FAQ

Questions people ask before choosing

Is Browser Run a competitor to Tabbit?

Not directly. Browser Run is infrastructure for developers who want to give AI agents a browser. Tabbit is a browser product for end users. They sit at different layers.

Can I use Tabbit to build an AI agent?

Tabbit is designed for human-in-the-loop browsing, not for headless agent deployment. If you are shipping an autonomous agent, Browser Run, browser-use, or Hyperbrowser are more appropriate.

Does Browser Run replace a normal browser?

No. Browser Run does not provide the daily browsing experience most people need. It is a backend that your code or agent controls.

Which one should a developer use?

If you want a smarter daily browser, use Tabbit. If you need a browser runtime for the agents you are building, use Browser Run or browser-use. Many developers will use both.

Is Tabbit free?

Yes, Tabbit is free to download and use during its public beta for both macOS and Windows.

Can Tabbit and Browser Run work together?

Conceptually yes. You can use Tabbit for your own browsing and research, then use Browser Run to deploy agents that scale. They solve different parts of the workflow.
