I run several agents at once. Playwright's Chrome windows kept popping up and grabbing my keyboard, and headless got blocked by some sites and you can't see easily what's happneing.

agweb keeps what's good about headless and still lets you watch. It never pops up or takes focus, and idle tabs get suspended: five idle pages sit at 0% CPU and 590 MB, vs 1.6 GB for Playwright's Chrome. ⌘D shows every agent's tabs live.

For agents, the commands mirror playwright-cli, which they already know. Each reply also says what the action changed (fetches, elements added or removed), so they need fewer snapshots, fewer tool calls and fewer tokens.

Also: one login shared by all agents through a named profile, fill --secret-cmd 'pass show site' keeps passwords out of the transcript, and ask hands the tab to you for MFA or a CAPTCHA.
