What the publisher says
From the Browser Gateway repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
browser-gateway
The open router for cloud browsers. One endpoint that routes across every browser provider you use: automatic failover, persistent profiles, session replay, REST API, MCP server, dashboard. Works unchanged with Puppeteer, Playwright, Stagehand, browser-use, and any MCP client.

Overview
One endpoint. Multiple providers. Automatic failover when one is saturated or goes down.
Your app connects to ws://gateway:9500/v1/connect. The gateway picks the best available provider based on health, capacity, and your routing strategy. Providers can be cloud CDP services, Docker containers, or local Chrome instances.
Dashboard
A web dashboard ships with every install. Open http://localhost:9500/web after starting the gateway.
Overview. Active sessions, queue depth, provider health, connection endpoint, and a copy-paste quickstart for Puppeteer, Playwright, Stagehand, browser-use, and raw CDP.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
