Yes! We want to do this.
We were thinking of implement MCP protocol into the browser, so the browser can be an MCP server (that exposes bunch of tools -- navigation, click, extract) and you can connect that to your agent, would that work?
What is your use-case? Happy to chat on discord! https://discord.gg/YKwjt5vuKr
Thanks for the discord invite! My username is Mindcast on discord.

Yes, that works for me! My primary use case is automated testing of updates to websites that I maintain.

Is there a way to hook BrowserOS up as a sub-agent for an orchestration agent/system?

Huh, isn't this already built-in, in most chat UIs?
This is for running locally in the terminal (or in WSL2 if you are on Windows).
Here is an example session from a similar script that I <cough>ChatGPT</cough> wrote in Perl, illustrating the same concept:
$ ~/agentloop.pl
YOUR PROMPT:
Is Python installed on this system? If so, which version?
BASH STDIN:
python --version 2>&1 || python3 --version 2>&1
BASH STDOUT:
/bin/bash: python: command not found
Python 3.6.7
LLM RESPONSE:
Python is installed on this system. The version available is Python 3.6.7. However, it looks like the python executable (python) is not directly available, but python3 (or a direct version path) exists and resolves to Python 3.6.7.
If you need to use Python, you should use python3 as the command.
Oh, cool -- this is made with golang! I'll have see if I could wrap it in a desktop gui using wails.

The thing I still find weird about Container Queries is that there doesn't appear to be a way to distinguish between different containers based on class, as @container applies to any parent container. So, a <p> inside of a card with class .card-with-blue-background would get the same styles as a <p> inside of a card with class .card-with-red-background, since there isn't an easy way (as far as I could tell) to distinguish between the two scenarios within the Container Query, itself.
Oh, just figured out that there is a field for this → container-name

It sounds ok, but impressive for the size.
