OUR ASSESSMENT
- 5,108 GitHub stars.
- 8 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- MIT license.
- Profile-aware: inherits cookies, sessions, extensions.
- CLI plus MCP makes it usable outside agent loops too.
- Attaches to your real Chrome profile; agent mistakes can affect your actual browsing state.
- Profile attachment requires Chrome restart on first connection.
- Less suitable for headless CI workflows (use Playwright or Browserbase instead).
BB Browser inherits the full Chrome profile permissions; treat the agent flow as having access to every logged-in site. Prefer a dedicated Chrome profile for agent work rather than your personal browsing profile. Sensitive sessions (banking, password managers) should never be in the attached profile.
Tasks that require existing authentication state (logged into LinkedIn, Gmail, internal SaaS); reverse-engineering workflows where extensions matter; personal-assistant agents that need access to your real browser session.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 4 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 4 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
