FAQ
Questions people ask before switching
Is Browser Use the same as Tabbit?
No. Browser Use is an open-source Python library that lets developers write code to control browsers with AI. Tabbit is a full desktop browser with Agent Mode built in, designed for everyday users.
Can I use Browser Use without coding?
Not really. Browser Use requires Python, API keys, and writing scripts. Tabbit is the no-code alternative: install the browser and start giving instructions.
Is Tabbit free like Browser Use?
Yes, and then some. Browser Use is open-source and free to run locally, but you still pay for LLM API usage. Tabbit is free to download and use, with multiple AI models included.
Which is better for web automation?
For developers who need repeatable, headless automation at scale, Browser Use is excellent. For everyday users who want the browser itself to do the work, Tabbit is faster to adopt and easier to use.
Does Tabbit run tasks in the background?
Yes. Tabbit runs agent tasks in an independent tab group, so you can keep working while the agent completes its job.
Can Browser Use replace a daily browser?
No. Browser Use is a library for automation, not a browser you would use to read email or write documents. Tabbit is designed to be your primary browser.
Is Tabbit safe for sensitive work accounts?
Tabbit stores data locally and runs tasks on your machine. It supports importing bookmarks, passwords, and cookies from Chrome, Edge, and Safari with your consent.
How do I migrate from Browser Use to Tabbit?
Install Tabbit, import your existing browser data, then describe the workflows you previously scripted. Tabbit Agent Mode can often replicate them without code.
Stop writing scripts. Start getting things done.
Tabbit gives you the power of an AI agent inside a real browser — free, fast, and built for the way you actually work.
