BrowserOS

Project Overview

BrowserOS is an open-source Chromium fork that runs AI agents natively. It is your open-source, privacy-first alternative to ChatGPT Atlas, Perplexity Comet, and Dia. Privacy first — use your own API keys or run local models with Ollama. Your data stays on your computer.

Key Features

• Feels like home — same familiar interface as Google Chrome, works with all your extensions
• AI agents that run on YOUR browser, not in the cloud
• Privacy first — bring your own keys or use local models with Ollama; your browsing history stays on your computer
• Open source and community driven
• BrowserOS as MCP server — install our MCP server and use the browser from within claude-code or gemini-cli
• (coming soon) Built-in AI ad blocker
