#When to use

Orfyn gives agents a real browser inside Orfyn. Standalone tools like Playwright or agent-browser give an agent its own browser in a separate process. They overlap, so which one?

Use the Orfyn browser when:

• You're running agents remotely and want to watch. You see the same browser the agent is driving, live in the Orfyn desktop app — not a headless browser on a box you can't see.
• You want the browser inside Orfyn. It's a tab in the same session, not a separate agent window to manage.
• You don't want to set up extra tools. It's built in — no separate MCP server or CLI to install and wire up.

Reach for Playwright or agent-browser when the browser work stands on its own — headless CI runs, an existing test suite, or automation that isn't tied to an agent session in Orfyn.

The Orfyn browser is desktop only for now.
