agent-browser-protocol (ABP), an open-source browser for AI agents forked from Chromium

A specialized browser protocol designed to eliminate 'stale state' failures in AI agent-browser interactions, making the process feel like a 'multimodal chat loop' and providing a 'better tool' for LLMs to interact with websites reliably.
The agent-browser-protocol (ABP) directly tackles a fundamental reliability challenge in AI agent development: the problem of agents reasoning from stale browser states. By forking Chromium and implementing a mechanism to freeze JavaScript execution and rendering after every agent action, ABP ens...
