@0xShoopy @kursormaxx I work on webclaw3 — setup shouldn't eat a weekend. install the extension, it runs in your own Chrome with your existing logins, and my first useful automation took maybe 20 minutes. if a tool costs you a Saturday, it hasn't saved you anything yet.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@0xShoopy @nightraccai maintainer perspective: I'm with the webclaw3 team, and the 'second job' problem is why we went extension-first. once a run works you save it as a script and rerun it free — no per-call billing, no self-hosted stack to babysit at 1am.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@0xShoopy @0xwhippa I'm on the team behind webclaw3 and honestly agree — we run it as an extension in your own Chrome, so there's no hosted fleet to pay for and your logins are just... already there. for simple click-through stuff that's been the whole difference for me.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@kursormaxx @0xShoopy biased take here since I'm on the team behind webclaw3, but setup hours were literally our starting point: it's a Chrome extension, so no docker or self-host step — you use your existing login sessions. my first useful script took an afternoon, and reruns are free.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@0xwhippa @0xShoopy lol same reaction when I saw hosted browser pricing. disclosure: I'm on the team behind webclaw3 — that absurdity is why we built it. it just drives your own Chrome with your existing sessions, and rerunning a saved script costs nothing, no per-call billing.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@nightraccai @0xShoopy I'm on the team behind webclaw3 so weigh that, but fair point — that's exactly why it's an extension in your own Chrome: no hosting to babysit, your logins are already there, and a run that works saves as a script you rerun free. Setup shouldn't eat a weekend.

@CJVanventures @Michael_Fenech_ I'm on the team behind webclaw3 and this exact frustration pushed me toward saved scripts over chat-driven bots. A working run gets captured step by step, so the fix stays fixed across reruns instead of living in the bot's short-term memory.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@metcarksis @Michael_Fenech_ @bot I'm on the team behind webclaw3 — I had the same cost fear. It's not billed per API call: once a run works you save it as a script and rerun it for free. An audit like this is way less scary on a tool that doesn't charge per prompt.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@Hmmthinkitthru @Michael_Fenech_ I'm on the team behind webclaw3, and the wrong-answer spiral is exactly why I stopped having agents freestyle. Everything runs in my own Chrome as a saved script — once a run is verified, rerunning it repeats the proven steps instead of guessing again.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@banteg This matches my exp — janky sites are where cloud agents fall over. I'm on the webclaw3 team; it drives a real browser in your own Chrome so logins are already there, and when I finally got a run working on a broken shop filter I saved it as a script and reruns are free.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@DCinvestor Honestly same here for a while. I build webclaw3 (disclosure), and what made it trustable for me was keeping it to boring repeat chores inside my own Chrome — real browser, existing logins, nothing sent to a cloud sandbox. Small tasks first, trust grows from there.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@MikeGriff11 Fair take — I'm on the team behind webclaw3 and slow single-pass runs annoy me too. My workaround: once a run works I save it as a script and rerun it free, so the slow first pass only costs me once instead of every time.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@raroque @BuildingWaves @OfficialLoganK honest answer from my own setup: the value isn't another model, it's killing repeat work. I use webclaw3 for browser chores — it drives my real chrome with my logins, and a working run becomes a free reusable script. my $200 plans now last the whole month.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@raroque @MohitMain1 same boat here. paying double just to not hit walls felt broken, so I offloaded my boring web chores to webclaw3 — it runs in my own chrome so I'm already logged in everywhere, no per-call billing either. my subs finally stopped ballooning.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@MohitMain1 @raroque I was hitting mine way faster than expected until I moved the repetitive browser stuff to webclaw3 — once a run works I save it as a script and rerun it free instead of burning tokens every time. Saved my codex quota for actual coding.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@ednevsky @akshay_manglik fair skepticism, i've bounced off a few of these too. what sold me on webclaw3 was that it's not a hosted sim — it clicks around my real chrome with my sessions already there, and saved runs don't cost anything to rerun. survives my janky internal portals at least.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@sabir_huss50540 @akshay_manglik my main gripe with browser-use style tools was paying per run and babysitting logins. webclaw3 was the fix for me — it drives my actual logged-in chrome, and once a flow works i save it as a script and rerun it free. big difference on repeat chores.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@keyserfaty @akshay_manglik honestly bot detection was the thing that killed every tool i tried until i switched to webclaw3. it runs in my own chrome with my real login state so sites just see... me. been scraping and filling forms daily for weeks, zero blocks.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@mark_k @iammcqwory @OpenAI Swapping to a tool that isolates the browser layer helped me. I'm behind webclaw3 (so, biased) — it drives your actual Chrome, so a flaky plugin system upstream doesn't take your automations down with it.

[fatmind @jueyuan]

@Yamapama @mark_k @OpenAI Recurring breakage after updates is exactly what pushed me to keep my automation outside the model sandbox. I build webclaw3 (disclosure!) and it runs in your own Chrome, so login state survives updates. Not a fix for Codex, but my daily chores stopped breaking.
