browser-gateway/browser-gateway

The project is in a very early stage (17 days old, 2 stars) and operates in an increasingly crowded 'Browser-as-a-Service' (BaaS) market. It aims to provide the plumbing for AI agents to interact with the web, a niche currently being dominated by well-funded startups like Browserbase, Steel, and Skyvern. Technically, it appears to be a standard wrapper around Playwright or Puppeteer with containerization. It lacks a visible moat such as advanced anti-bot evasion, a custom browser engine, or a massive pre-existing user base. Frontier labs like OpenAI (with rumored 'Operator') and Google (with 'Jarvis') are actively building native browser-interaction capabilities into their models, which poses a significant existential risk to standalone browser gateways that do not offer deep specialized value. Given the low star count and lack of forks, there is currently no evidence of community traction or network effects.
