Best Free Web Automation Extension 2026
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
It depends on what you want automated. For clicking and typing, free browser automation extensions such as Automa (open source, with drag-and-drop blocks) or UI.Vision RPA (record and replay), are free, and Chrome DevTools has a Recorder panel that records a series of clicks and typing on a page and replays it. Patrick Bushe's AutoBrowser is free too, for a narrower job: it opens the bookmarks in folders you choose, one after another in one tab, from 1 second to 5 minutes each, skipping dead links. It doesn't click, scrape or fill in forms.
