Overview

Kernel’s browsers are compatible with all browser and Computer Use frameworks.

Universal compatibility

Kernel browsers work with any framework or tool that supports the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). This means you can:

• Use any agent framework: Integrate with popular frameworks like Browser Use, Stagehand, Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, and more
• Connect via CDP: All browsers expose a CDP WebSocket URL for direct connection
• No vendor lock-in: Switch between frameworks or use multiple frameworks simultaneously
• Standard protocols: Built on open standards that work with the entire browser automation ecosystem
