BrowserAct

🚨 Twitter scraping in 2026: API is $200/mo (Basic) or $5,000/mo (Pro). snscrape/nitter are dead. ✅ Durable path: real-browser takeover (logged-in Chrome). browseract.com/blog/twitter-s…

A Google Maps scraper that only exports a CSV is halfway done. Production setup: - search matrix, not one broad query - scroll + dedupe + validation - API/webhook delivery when teams depend on it Guide: browseract.com/blog/google-ma…

Playwright spawns a fresh browser with no login. BrowserAct's browser-act Skill drives the Chrome you're already signed in to. Tried in Claude Code: → Triage 6 logged-in GitHub Issues → Smoke-test a NVDA alert form → Forge a github-repo-research Skill browseract.com/blog/agent-bro…

@ls_brd @hasantoxr $247/month for tools that still get blocked — yeah, we don't miss that either. CLI gives you full control, glad it clicked!

@hasantoxr $247 a month just to move your mouse for you ngl the CLI part is what actually sold me

I'm done paying $247/month for Apollo, Hunter, and PhantomBuster after finding this. It's called BrowserAct. A free CLI that gives your AI agent real browser control. Not web_fetch. Not curl. An actual browser that logs in, solves captchas, and pulls data exactly like a human would. I used it to pull 50 LinkedIn leads in 10 minutes. Name, title, company, URL. Clean CSV. Zero API keys. What you usually pay for vs BrowserAct: Apollo → $79/month Hunter → $99/month PhantomBuster → $69/month BrowserAct → npx install, one line, done. The reason it actually works: Most scraping tools get blocked immediately because they use standard Chrome. LinkedIn, Amazon, X see it as a bot in milliseconds. BrowserAct ships with 5 fingerprint profiles and anti-bot bypass built in. Canvas masking. WebGL spoofing. Automated captcha solving. Cloudflare Turnstile handled automatically. Sites see a real browser. Because it is a real browser. And it doesn't stop at scraping. Your agent can click through checkout flows, auto-fill forms, place orders, log into accounts full browser control, not just data extraction. That's what makes this different from every other scraping tool. @browseract uses your already logged-in Chrome session. No OAuth. No developer apps. No new IP flags. Your cookies. Your sessions. Your logins. The agent just inherits them. Now there's also Skill Forge. Point it at any website. It auto-discovers the hidden APIs and DOM patterns, then writes a deploy-ready skill for your agent. No reverse engineering. No manual scripts. Your agent earns a new permanent capability every time. Set it up once. Run it every day with one prompt. One line to install: npx skills add browser-act/skills --skill browser-act Free. No signup. No card. 👉 Get it here: browseract.com/skill?co-from=… 👉 Skill Forge: github.com/browser-act/sk…

@gonlenidefi @hasantoxr The captcha solving is definitely a highlight! For edge cases — built-in retry logic handles most of it, and if it truly gets stuck, Remote Assist pauses and lets you take over manually, then resumes automatically. No silent failures.

@hasantoxr i bet the captcha solving part is what finally convinced you to post this how stable does it handle edge cases though?

Fair point — but BrowserAct's approach is different from typical scrapers. When you use chrome mode, it's literally controlling your real Chrome with your real session, real cookies, real fingerprint. There's no "bot" to detect — it's just your browser doing what you'd do manually. For stealth mode, it ships with fingerprint masking across Canvas, WebGL, fonts, timezone and more, so it mimics a real human as closely as possible. The cat-and-mouse game will always exist, but using your actual browser identity is a fundamentally harder target than a headless script.

@hasantoxr the real question is how long till they add anti-bot defenses for this too closing all the loopholes one by one

BrowserAct works with LinkedIn no matter how new your profile is — just log in on Chrome first and it inherits your session automatically. And it's not a Chrome extension, it's a local CLI tool that connects directly to your real Chrome browser, which makes it way more powerful than an extension.

@hasantoxr Can I use it on a just created LinkedIn profile? And also is this available as an extension on chrome?

Most "how to bypass CAPTCHA" guides still teach 2020 tricks that don't work in 2026. Modern CAPTCHAs aren't puzzles. They're browser verdicts scored on 200+ signals before any challenge appears. 5 approaches compared, 1 still works: browseract.com/blog/how-to-by…

"CAPTCHA solver" in 2026 = 5 different tools, 4 of which don't work on modern CAPTCHAs. Here's what actually passes Cloudflare Turnstile, reCAPTCHA v3, and DataDome (spoiler: nothing that "solves" — only real-browser takeover): browseract.com/blog/what-is-a…
