How to Automate Web Browsing for Repetitive Tasks
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Split the routine into parts. To open your usual pages every morning, set Settings > On startup > "Open a specific page or set of pages". To sign in, let Chrome's password manager do it. For daily clicks such as check-ins, free browser automation extensions such as Automa (open source, with drag-and-drop blocks) or UI.Vision RPA (record and replay), can repeat them. Patrick Bushe's AutoBrowser doesn't record or click; it opens a bookmark folder's pages one after another on a timer.
