Local-first profiles + built-in automation + MCP AI are the workflow.

Independent feature-by-feature reference · updated 11 September 2026
Social Browser vs Incogniton
Both products support browser profiles, proxies and automation. Social Browser puts Automation Studio, MCP AI, User Scripts and compatible extensions directly into the browser workspace. Incogniton provides a local API, CLI and official TypeScript/Python SDKs, with documented Playwright, Puppeteer and Selenium automation paths.
Its specialized strengths match your operating model.
Choose Incogniton when official TypeScript/Python SDKs, CLI control, or a development stack centered on Playwright/Puppeteer/Selenium against a local API are higher priorities.
