Show HN: Nxtscape – an open-source agentic browser

Summary

The Open-source Agentic Browser. Nxtscape ("next-scape") is an open-source agentic browser – your privacy-first alternative to closed-source browsers (like Arc, Dia, Perplexity Comet). Built on Chromium, Nxtscape lets you run Manus like agents locally and boost your productivity with an AI-sidekick. $${\color{red}Download}$$ link for macOS We'd love to hear what problems you'd like to see solved! Share your ideas through our anonymous form. Looks like Chrome, but with AI superpowers. We believe the future is AI agents automating your work, and we want to be the open source browser that can do it locally and securely instead of sending your data to a search or ad company. The Vision: A Browser That Works For You 💡 For the first time since Netscape in 1994, it feels like we can reimagine browsers from scratch. The browser of tomorrow might not look like what we have today! That's why we're building Nxtscape - an open-source, agentic browser for the next era. We saw how tools like Cursor gave developers a 10x productivity boost, yet the browser—where we spend our entire day—feels stuck and we're constantly fighting it. I constantly have 70+ tabs open and lose track of them. Can't AI help group or close them? Simple workflows, like "order Tide Pods from my Amazon order history," should just work with agents right now. And form-filling is another huge pain that AI should be able to solve.
