Anchor Browser: Hosted Browser Infrastructure for Agents
Anchor Browser is a hosted browser-infrastructure-for-agents product: rather than giving you an agent, it gives agents and frameworks a reliable cloud browser to act in. It offers persistent profiles, authenticated session storage, proxy rotation, CDP-compatible control, session replay, and CAPTCHA handling — the plumbing that turns a noisy Playwright setup into a production-grade agent runtime.

Frequently asked questions
Is Anchor itself an agent?
No — Anchor is infrastructure. It's browser-as-a-service that agent frameworks plug into, similar to how Browserbase or Hyperbrowser operate.
Why not just run Playwright on a VM?
Managing persistent profiles, proxies, anti-bot signals, scale, and replay across thousands of sessions is surprisingly hard. Hosted infra handles the plumbing so the agent team can focus on the task logic.
What agent frameworks plug into Anchor?
Anything that speaks Chrome DevTools Protocol: Browser Use, Skyvern, Playwright directly, custom Puppeteer agents, and MCP browser servers.
