Ottobrowse Lets Code Hand a Browser to a Human

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A cloud service rents out disposable Chrome browsers that Playwright or Puppeteer scripts can control, with live human takeover when automation gets stuck.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-13 issue.

Field notes

Ottobrowse exposes browser sessions through the Chrome DevTools Protocol, allowing existing Playwright and Puppeteer scripts to connect without changing their later steps. The page describes sessions lasting 15 minutes to six hours, with a caller-provided job ID preventing a retry from launching a second browser. A live session link lets a person type into the same screen when automation encounters a login or form step, after which the script can continue.
