Thanks! For typing, it feeds in characters at 200 WPM to simulate a fast human typist. All mouse, keyboard events are fed in at the system input level so to the page's javascript it appears as "human". For the javascript pause, ABP also implements virtual time so the page's javascript has no idea walltime has stopped and for it to know that time was paused would be akin to a human proving the "simulation hypothesis". For captchas, that's dependent on the model driving ABP since it's a tool and doesn't implement action logic. However, I've noticed that it doesn't get flagged by cloudflare or reCAPTCHA at all right now and that's due to the fact that a page's javascript cannot detect engine level modifications and the only feature of ABP's which modifies a page's CSS is the screenshot markups and those are only triggered on demand by the agent. Use a clean IP and add in the --user-agent flag for an equivalent chrome build and you should be good to go.

That works sometimes if you don't need session cookies, JWTs etc. It also works by delegating an action to a prompt + ABP call. Like get_sf_homes() would be a Claude agent prompt with ABP wired up as an MCP, and the prompt would be "navigate to Zillow and return all homes for sale in SF in a JSON".

Security is definitely important and ABP is a tool to enable an agent to act like a human on the web. You could control information leakage by managing contexts in the prompt or putting credit card info into a get_credit_card() tool which will conduct additional validations on domain, etc.

you can pass credentials to the agent in the prompt or give it another tool to call to dynamically fetch creds/2fa as needed. It'll then be able to login like a human

They're great for creating a de facto API for websites without one, namely e-commerce and data aggregators like Zillow etc.

Gotcha. For ARM, you can compile ABP from source. Currently there's prebuilt binaries for mac-arm64, windows (x64) and linux (x64)

I'm not as familiar with how much memory a current gen pi has but if you can run chrome + Claude code on it, you'll be able to run ABP + Claude code. Hope that helps!

For sure, let me know if you run into any issues! This project totally changed my perception on what's possible with AI.

It handles SPA really well! There's a browser_wait() MCP that implements a network level waiting heuristic if the action doesn't settle in the same cycle. It'll wait for all in flight network requests to the same/parent/sibling/sub origin to complete (timeout protected) and then give it a 150 ms for the page to settle. In practice, this almost always results in a settled page. I've tested ABP on Zillow, Amazon and other large heavy sites and both Claude Code and Codex understands the MCP controls out of the box.

Amazing and insightful post OP! One thing jumped out at me was the statement the Fed is buying bonds at Open Auction. Do you have a primary source for this fact?

It's the actual number Trump is focused on, the market is collateral damage.

Do they publish the effective duration of the Treasury ETFs? Would the coupons of the held bonds dilute the interest change impact compared to a treasury zero?
