# Awesome Browser Automation [![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://awesome.re)



A curated list of awesome browser automation tools and resources.



Browser automation is the act of executing actions automatically in a web browser for testing, [web scraping](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping) or to perform repetitive tasks faster. Specialized software is usually required to do this. This software may control an external browser or be a browser itself.
