Browserbase: Turning Agent Browsers into Operable Infrastructure

Browserbase combines remote Chromium, persistent Contexts, proxies, and a Session Inspector in one control plane. It operates browser fleets; it does not decide an agent's next action. As of August 2026, the company reports more than 35 million monthly browser sessions and over 10,000 customers.
