Best open-source browser & computer use
The open-source browser & computer use in the index — self-hostable, inspectable, and free to run. Ranked by real maintained adoption (GitHub stars and recent commit activity), never by sponsorship. Open source buys you control, privacy, and no vendor lock-in; the trade-off is that you host and maintain it yourself. Right now it's led by Browser Use (117k stars), with UI-TARS-desktop and page-agent close behind. Rankings shift as projects gain stars and ship commits.
