A browser extension would have to run on individual/personal browser; we're focused on providing infrastructure to run hundreds of browsers that you can connect to with code -- whether for automation or information retrieval.

Curious, what made you think browser extension first? :)

It would be cheaper (free?) and easier to maintain, one could even use the chatgpt.com or claude.ai web app as API.
