Sidelight runs browser agents in your real Chrome session to dodge login walls

A Reddit user released Sidelight, a Chrome side-panel tool that runs browser agents inside your actual logged-in session.
- Most agents run on remote browsers and get flagged the moment they touch signed-in sites, hitting logins and captchas
- Sidelight acts in your real session: extract data (even from API calls), fill forms, click through flows, and book things
- The author is soliciting feedback on which multi-step tasks break current agents
