Give your coding agent its own browser: ego lite setup via codex copies Chrome logins in minutes

The author recommends giving a powerful agent like GPT-6 Astra its own dedicated browser so Computer Use doesn't fight you for Chrome. The recipe: pick ego lite, hand codex a prompt to "install ego lite, configure the same cookies and login info as Chrome, and use this browser for Computer Use going forward." Setup took only a few minutes and copied Chrome's login state in one click — a simple, reproducible pattern for isolating agent browsing sessions.
