Getting Started Step by Step

Step 1: Download and Install

Visit the official Ego Lite website and download the installer for your operating system. The installer is approximately 150MB and includes everything needed to run the browser and CLI tools.

Step 2: Migrate Your Chrome Data

On first launch, Ego Lite will prompt you to import data from your existing Chrome installation. This includes bookmarks, saved passwords, cookies, extensions, and browsing history. The migration takes less than 30 seconds for typical Chrome profiles.

Step 3: Configure Your AI Agent

If you are using Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible AI tool, install the Ego Lite skill package by running:

npx skills add citrolabs/ego-lite

Restart your AI tool after installation. The skill package registers Ego Lite as a browser operation tool that your Agent can invoke through natural language commands.

Step 4: Run Your First Task

Try a simple browsing task. For example, ask your Agent to browse a public webpage and summarize its content. The Agent will create a task space, open the page, extract the content using semantic snapshots, and return the results without ever interrupting your own browser sessions.

Advanced Features

JavaScript Execution

Ego Lite allows Agents to execute JavaScript directly in the browser context. This is particularly useful for reading data from Single Page Applications (SPAs) built with React, Vue, or Angular, where the actual data lives in JavaScript variables rather than static HTML.

Network Request Interception

Using the Chrome DevTools Protocol, Agents can intercept and analyze network requests. This enables powerful use cases like capturing API responses from SPAs, debugging frontend-backend communication, or monitoring data flows for security auditing.

Visual Verification

For pages where DOM-based interaction is unreliable (canvas-based games, interactive maps, custom widgets), Ego Lite falls back to visual workflows. The Agent takes screenshots, identifies clickable regions by coordinates, and simulates mouse and keyboard actions to interact with non-standard UI elements.

Security Considerations

Ego Lite is designed with security in mind. Here are key security features:

  • Local-only operation: All browsing data stays on your machine. No telemetry or data collection servers.
  • Task space sandboxing: Each Agent task runs in an isolated context with limited permissions.
  • Explicit user confirmation: Agents can pause and request human confirmation before performing sensitive operations like form submissions or account changes.
  • No credential storage: Ego Lite inherits your existing login states through cookies but does not store credentials separately.

System Requirements

  • Operating System: Windows 10+, macOS 12+, or any modern Linux distribution
  • Memory: Minimum 4GB RAM recommended (8GB for complex tasks)
  • Disk Space: Approximately 500MB for installation plus Chrome profile data
  • Node.js: Version 18 or later required for CLI operations
