Browse

About

Browse connects your browser to a CLI tool, letting you scrape any webpage to clean markdown — including sites that require login.

  WHY BROWSE?

  ✓ Uses your actual browser session — no separate login needed
  ✓ Bypasses bot detection — you're using your real browser
  ✓ Converts messy HTML to clean, readable markdown
  ✓ Works with any site you can view in Chrome
  ✓ 100% local — no data sent to external servers

  PERFECT FOR:

  • Scraping content behind paywalls (that you have access to)
  • Extracting articles, documentation, social media posts
  • AI/LLM workflows — feed web content to Claude, GPT, etc.
  • Research and data collection

  HOW IT WORKS:

  1. Install the CLI: npm install -g browse-cli
  2. Start the daemon: browse init
  3. Scrape any page: browse https://example.com

  The extension connects to a local daemon on your machine that relays CLI commands to your active browser tab. All processing happens locally.

  OPEN SOURCE:

  PRIVACY:

  No data collection. No analytics. No external servers. Everything stays on your machine.
