When Web Automation Starts Acting on Behalf of Users
The web was built for humans. Now AI agents are starting to click through it.

A browser agent can search.
Click.
Read pages.
Fill forms.
Compare options.
Prepare a task.
Act on behalf of a user.
That sounds productive.

Fake pages.
Hidden instructions.
Misleading buttons.
Malicious forms.
Untrusted content.
Sensitive data in the wrong place.

Browser agents are not just better web assistants.
They are exposure points between your business and the open internet.
