Betterwright
curiosityos · Agent
BetterWright gives AI agents a persistent browser controlled with Playwright JavaScript, so an agent can navigate, interact with pages and read results across calls without starting a new browser each time. It offers configurable network controls, credential filling and human handoff for steps that need a person. Connect an existing agent through the command line, the MCP server or the SDK, or use the optional built-in agent, which runs a plain-language task with a model you configure. The browser runtime itself needs no model or API key.

Why it's useful
Your agent keeps one browser session alive across calls, with its tabs, page state and saved profile, instead of starting fresh every time.
What you could do with it
- Have your agent open a page, run a Playwright script against it and get a JSON result back.
- Run the browser headed to watch what your agent does, or hand a step to a person when it needs one.
- Give the built-in agent a plain-language task, such as opening a site and summarising it, using a local model on supported hardware.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured

In its maker's words
A persistent, policy-guarded Playwright browser for AI agents with network controls, trusted credential filling, proof screenshots, and CAPTCHA helpers.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 2.8.8, the file with digest sha512-4vtb7CMG22jqppNo+iC+4zCH44NsTxT7Ga+1POeA4jssB053O0jdoWTRNzegFevmjYMrLyxw8gzANgzIIAlhmQ==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it
Run it with:
npx -y betterwright@2.8.8Pinned to 2.8.8, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.
