Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Fakrul from Olib AI, and I'm excited to share Owl Browser with you today. Why we built this: We were tired of watching our automation scripts get blocked. Puppeteer and Playwright work great in development, but the moment you hit a real website with Cloudflare or bot detection? Instant blocks. We'd spend weeks building scrapers, only to have them fail in production. Traditional stealth solutions pass maybe 44% of detection tests. Owl Browser passes 100% — all 16 major bot detection categories. What makes it different: 🎯 Actually undetectable — passes Cloudflare, PerimeterX, DataDome, Akamai 🤖 AI-powered automation — use natural language instead of fragile CSS selectors 🧅 Native Tor integration — unique IP per browser context automatically ⚡ Instant startup — sub-second launch, unlimited parallel sessions 🛠️ 104 tools included — CAPTCHA solving, video recording, everything you need We're using it in production for lead generation, price monitoring, and workflow automation at massive scale (27+ logins/second proven). We'd love your feedback: What automation challenges are you facing? What features would make this more valuable for your use case? Questions about implementation or integration? Thanks for checking us out! Happy to answer any questions. 🚀

@fhsethen Hello! Congratulations on the launch. I browsed quickly your homepage and I couldn’t see any trial or free plan, the self-hosted seems to be even more expensive than the starting cloud subscription. Who is your target with this product and do you plan a way to try it without committing large sums?

@fhsethen  @abijahkaj Hey Abijah, it’s Akram from Olib AI. Owl Browser is a large-scale browser (browser-as-a-service) designed for enterprise customers. Developers can build using our BaaS platform. As mentioned on our website, we require signing an NDA. To get a free trial, please reach out to us using our contact form. Once you sign the NDA, you’ll receive a free trial of the developer license. Thanks!

Congratulations on the launch! @fhsethen @ibnbd Love the idea of blending browser automation with user-like behavior! I can see it solves the pain point when user try to automate their tasks with agents like Manus but keep on getting rejected by detection.

One thing I’m curious about is edge cases around dynamic UIs: when a page has elements that move/change frequently, how does Owl decide what to click or ignore? Do you use heuristics, or does it involve a feedback loop with the user to adjust selectors?

Also, how do you think about balancing automation power vs. safety (e.g., preventing loops that keep clicking forever)? 🦉

Akram H. Sharkar

@fhsethen  @amberjolie Thanks for the support! You hit on a massive pain point—modern web apps are incredibly fluid, and layout shifts are the enemy of traditional automation.

To answer your question on Dynamic UIs: We tackle this with a two-layer approach:

  1. Semantic Targeting: Instead of brittle CSS selectors, we use Natural Language Selectors. Our engine uses a multi-scorer ensemble (analyzing text similarity, visual proximity, and element type) to locate the correct element conceptually, even if the DOM attributes have shifted.

  2. Execution Stability: Once we identify the target, we employ a "verify-and-retry" mechanism for the interaction itself. Before a click is finalized, the system calculates the precise element position and performs a rapid stability check (a 10ms micro-wait). If the UI shifts during that window (e.g., a loading spinner expands), we detect that the action didn't land effectively via our Action Result feedback loop. The system automatically retries this process up to 10 times to catch the element in a stable state.

Regarding Safety and Loops: That same retry logic acts as our circuit breaker. Because every action is part of a parsed "action plan" generated by our Natural Language Automation (NLA) engine, we don't just loop blindly. If the 10-try threshold is reached without a confirmed success, the specific action fails, triggering our error recovery protocols rather than spiraling into an infinite clicking loop.

It’s all about balancing agent autonomy with strict execution boundaries! 🦉

@fhsethen  @amberjolie If you have websites that can be used for stress testing our browser, please share them with us. We always welcome a good challenge. Thank You

Amber Wang

@fhsethen  @ibnbd  Thank you Akram for explaining, this is really fascinating! it genuinely feels like agent behavior is getting much closer to how humans actually perceive and act, especially when dealing with complex, shifting visual environments.

The combination of semantic understanding and execution feedback makes a lot of sense, and it’s exciting to see automation evolve beyond brittle rules into something more adaptive and human-like.

Wishing you and the team great success! looking forward to seeing how Owl Browser continues to push this forward! 🦉🚀

We actually need to solve this kind of task. Can your service scan large e-commerce platforms? Like Amazon, for example? They have very strong bot protection.

Akram H. Sharkar

@mykyta_semenov_ for this, you will need residential IPs. Our browser can scale like no other browser. You can spawn 100 contexts with 100 different proxies and scrape 100 pages in less than a minute (if not login required).

Mykyta Semenov 🇺🇦🇳🇱

@ibnbd Our task is to collect data based on a user’s query. Roughly speaking, we take 100 large stores and analyze 1–5 pages on each within a few seconds. In theory, should one IP be enough for this?

Akram H. Sharkar

@mykyta_semenov_ I would suggest using residential proxies. We don't offer proxies, but the browser is built with per-context proxy support. Please check out the website and the FAQ section.

Love the privacy-first approach! Does Owl support Chrome/Firefox extensions, or do you have your own extension ecosystem? That's usually my biggest concern when switching browsers.

Fakrul H. Sarker

@ahkeminozen This is a browser as a service and we currently don't support any extensions. We tried to build all power browser managements as tools.

The AI-powered natural language commands caught my attention—writing automation with plain English instead of brittle selectors sounds practical. I'm curious how it handles edge cases like dynamic content or sites with heavy JavaScript rendering. Does the AI retry with different strategies when an action fails?

Akram H. Sharkar

@yamamoto7 The browser uses our custom DOM, which allows us to find any element even on heavily JavaScript-heavy pages. We employ three different strategies for finding elements: the Semantic Matcher, LLM-based Matcher, and Vision Matcher. While the LLM and Vision matchers can be slower, they serve as a last resort; 85% of elements are matched using the Semantic Matcher, which utilizes our custom-trained ML model.
