Browser-act separates identity from work:
  • A browser is an identity: cookies, profile, fingerprint, proxy, and description.
  • A session is a workspace: one task’s current page, tabs, state, and command flow.
This model lets agents run multiple tasks without mixing state.

Concurrency models

Cross-browser parallelism

Each browser has independent cookies, fingerprints, and proxy settings.
Session names must be globally unique. Use names that describe the task and identity.

Multiple sessions on one browser

Use multiple sessions when tasks should share the same login state but run independently:
Both sessions share the browser’s cookies and profile, but navigation and current page state are separate.

Privacy mode sessions

For stealth browsers with --private true, each session starts with a fresh fingerprint and empty profile:
This avoids residue between jobs. The trade-off is that login state is not kept.

Session lifecycle

Rules:
  • A session belongs to the agent or task that created it.
  • A session is tied to one browser.
  • One browser can have multiple sessions.
  • Session names must be unique.
  • Idle sessions may be reclaimed automatically after a period of inactivity.
List and close sessions:

Commands that do not need a session

These commands operate outside a browser workspace:
  • browser list
  • browser create
  • browser update
  • browser delete
  • browser regions
  • browser list-profiles
  • session list
  • auth login, auth poll, auth set, auth clear
  • get-skills
  • report-log
  • feedback
  • stealth-extract

Best practices

[!TIP] Use descriptive session names such as pricing-us, login-check, or report-export. Close sessions when the task is complete.

Shared account work

Use multiple sessions when tasks should share one browser identity and login state.

Separate identities

Use separate browsers when tasks need separate accounts, regions, cookies, or proxies.

One-off jobs

Use privacy mode for work that should leave no persistent profile state.

Readable ownership

Name sessions by task and identity so agents and humans can understand what each session is doing.
