And it's a 12MB binary.\n\nIt's called Pinchtab. It gives any AI agent full browser control through a plain HTTP API.\n\nNot locked to a framework. Not tied to an SDK. Any agent, any language, even curl.\n\nNo config. No setup. No dependencies. Just a single Go binary.\n\nHere's why every existing solution is broken:\n\n→ OpenClaw's browser? Only works inside OpenClaw\n→ Playwright MCP? Framework-locked\n→ Browser Use? Coupled to its own stack\n\nPinchtab is a standalone HTTP server. Your agent sends HTTP requests. That's it.\n\nHere's what this thing does:\n\n→ Launches and manages its own Chrome instances\n→ Exposes an accessibility-first DOM tree with stable element refs\n→ Click, type, scroll, navigate. All via simple HTTP calls\n→ Built-in stealth mode that bypasses bot detection on major sites\n→ Persistent sessions. Log in once, stays logged in across restarts\n→ Multi-instance orchestration with a real-time dashboard\n→ Works headless or headed (human does 2FA, agent takes over)\n\nHere's the wildest part:\n\nA full page snapshot costs ~800 tokens with Pinchtab's /text endpoint.\n\nThe same page via screenshots? ~10,000 tokens.\n\nThat's 13x cheaper. On a 50-page monitoring task, you're paying $0.01 instead of $0.30.\n\nIt even has smart diff mode. Only returns what changed since the last snapshot. Your agent stops re-reading the entire page every single call.\n\n1.6K GitHub stars. 478 commits. 15 releases. Actively maintained.\n\n100% Open Source.
