Product Overview
What is Browserbase?
Browserbase is a cloud-based platform that provides managed headless browser infrastructure for developers and businesses. It eliminates the complexity of running and maintaining browser fleets by offering a simple API that integrates with popular automation frameworks like Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium. The platform features globally distributed browsers with 4 vCPUs each, automatic captcha solving, residential proxy networks, and comprehensive session monitoring. Browserbase serves as essential infrastructure for web scraping, automated testing, and building web-enabled applications without the overhead of managing browser instances.
