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.
