ego lite is a browser where you and your AI agents work in parallel. Agents run their browser tasks in their own Spaces while your tabs stay yours, and the agent still reaches your real logins through ego-browser.
The framework approach drives a second browser, so logins never carry cleanly and the two of you end up fighting over the same tab. Sharing one session store is the whole difference.
Tab names and Space contents are illustrative. The README describes agents running multiple browser tasks in their own Spaces while your tabs stay yours, with the agent reaching your real logins and tabs through ego-browser.
A framework needs a separate browser to drive. Logins do not carry cleanly, and you and the agent compete for the same tabs.
The project describes a browser designed from the start for the two of you to share, with no extra setup.
Agents run several browser tasks at once in Spaces, so the work does not queue behind whatever you have open.
Most browser automation dies at the login wall, which is why sharing real session state is the feature and not a detail.
The project states agents work without disturbing you, which is a claim about focus rather than throughput.
