Browser Automation
Browser automation has bifurcated into developer-first frameworks (Playwright, Selenium) and no-code/AI-augmented platforms (UiPath, Bardeen). Playwright's 70% shortlist rate and maximum model diversity signal it has become the de facto standard for programmatic control, likely due to modern API design and multi-browser support. UiPath's 59% rate reflects enterprise RPA adoption, while emerging players like stacks.ai (41%) and Bardeen (37%) represent the shift toward AI-agent-friendly automation. The 33 consensus brands against only 12 evaluation brands suggest models agree on core tools but lack exposure to newer entrants.
