Why This Search Exists
That blend makes a single browser model insufficient. Public retrieval wants simple hosted APIs, while internal tools and exploratory work often depend on real browser state and human context.
Teams searching for browser research tools are often trying to bridge those two modes cleanly.
Recommended Approach
A layered browser stack gives product teams the flexibility they need. Hosted APIs handle public URL open requests and public adapters, while the local runtime supports stateful browsing and agent-driven analysis inside the real browser.
iatlas-browser supports both, as long as the boundary remains explicit.
Key Takeaways
- Product research needs more than one browser execution mode.
- Hosted retrieval is ideal for public source gathering.
- Local runtime is better for exploratory, stateful work.
- A clear interface boundary reduces tool confusion.
Fast Start
- Separate public-source tasks from authenticated browser tasks.
- Use hosted APIs to fetch and normalize public material.
- Use the local runtime for exploratory browser work and logged-in sources.
- Store recurring workflows in adapters or presets.
