What is Browserbase?

Browserbase is a cloud browser platform that enables AI agents and applications to autonomously read, write, and perform tasks on the web. It provides scalable, fast, and secure browser instances allowing developers to automate workflows and build browser tools for AI without having to manage their own infrastructure. You can set up Agent Analytics to see when Browserbase visits your website.

Why Is Browserbase Visiting My Website?

Someone automated a task that involves your site. Browserbase may be running tests, collecting data, or following an AI system's instructions. Its visit pattern reveals more about its purpose than its user-agent string does.

Should I Block Browserbase?

Judge it by its behavior. This category ranges from harmless testing tools to abusive automation, and Browserbase's purpose depends on whoever runs it. Block it if it targets login pages, submits forms, or crawls faster than a person reasonably could. For context, 7% of the top websites we track currently have robots.txt rules for Browserbase.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From Browserbase?

Browserbase is generic automation, so its traffic pattern depends entirely on the script or AI behind it. Human-guided runs tend to resemble short, deliberate sessions, while autonomous runs can look like a browser that never tires. Request timing and paths reveal more about its behavior than its name.


Does Browserbase Follow Robots.txt Rules?

No. Browserbase is not expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule only communicates your preference. Enforce the block with firewall or server rules, then use Agent Analytics to verify that its requests stop.


Is Browserbase Used for AI Model Training?

Possibly, but its category does not establish that purpose. Browserbase's operator may use or provide the collected content for AI training or for unrelated automated tasks.


Does Blocking Browserbase Affect AI Search or Citations?

Not directly. Browserbase's expected purpose is not to supply an AI search index or retrieve pages for AI-generated answers.


Does Browserbase Access Private Content?

It can access whatever its configuration allows. If someone gives Browserbase credentials, it can reach anything available to that account. Without them, it is limited to public pages.


How Can I Verify a Request From Browserbase?

Agent Analytics tracks visits from Browserbase and every other known AI agent, crawler, and scraper, then authenticates each visit using Browserbase's published verification method. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "Browserbase". Look for consistent timing or repeated navigation patterns unlikely to come from a person. A matching log entry alone is not proof because any bot can claim to be Browserbase.
