A catalog of ChatGPT & Codex plugins, sorted by people.
easi.run vs Browser Hands
Two Agent Workflows tools whose own descriptions overlap (shared terms: chrome, profiles). Here's what each project says it does and the public numbers, side by side, so you can pick one in a minute instead of reading two READMEs.
| easi.run | Browser Hands | |
|---|---|---|
| What it says it does | Self-hosted Chrome sessions for AI agents on your own Linux server, with a built-in MCP server, live human takeover for logins and 2FA, and saved profiles. | Chrome extension plus a small local MCP server that lets Claude Code, Codex or Cursor drive the Chrome you already use: click, type, read pages, screenshot and record GIFs across profiles. |

The differences that matter
- Attention: easi.run has 95 GitHub stars to Browser Hands's 24 (about 4×).
- Activity: both got a push within days of each other (2026-11-12 and 2026-11-13).
- License: easi.run is AGPL-3.0, Browser Hands is MIT. Check the copyleft terms before shipping it inside closed-source work.
Who each one suits
easi.run, if…
- You use Codex: the project's own description or install command targets it.
- You want something you install yourself; the install command doesn't point at a hosted endpoint.
- You're OK with a copyleft license (AGPL-3.0); check it before bundling into closed-source work.
- You want a project that's actively being worked on right now.
Browser Hands, if…
- You use Codex or Claude Code or Cursor: the project's own description or install command targets it.
- You need a permissive license (MIT) for work or commercial use.
- You want a project that's actively being worked on right now.
So which one?
We haven't run both, so we won't crown a winner. Use the list above to rule one out, then read its README and recent commits before installing. Anything that runs commands on your machine deserves a look at the code.
