A browser extension that records and replays multi-step web tasks without code, built on Manifest V3

Automa, the most popular no-code browser task recorder (23,700+ GitHub stars), is being discontinued because it cannot migrate to Chrome's Manifest V3 extension standard. Tens of thousands of non-technical users who depended on it for repetitive web workflows now have no viable free or affordable replacement that matches its visual flow-builder simplicity. The gap is a clean, MV3-native browser extension that records, parameterizes, and schedules web tasks through a drag-and-drop canvas, with no code and no server required.

CompetitiveMultiple tools exist but differentiation opportunities remain

4 tools exist (Axiom.ai, UI.Vision RPA, BrowserFlow, Browserbase) but gaps remain: Expensive for individual users; limited offline/local execution; no scheduling without a paid plan; flow canvas is less intuitive than Automa's.; Too complex and expensive for individual non-technical users; steep learning curve; priced for enterprise teams..

Product	Does	Missing
Axiom.ai	No-code Chrome extension for browser automation using a visual builder; MV3-compatible; backed by Y Combinator and SAP.	Expensive for individual users; limited offline/local execution; no scheduling without a paid plan; flow canvas is less intuitive than Automa's.
UI.Vision RPA	Enterprise browser RPA with record-and-replay, Selenium IDE compatibility, and desktop automation.	Too complex and expensive for individual non-technical users; steep learning curve; priced for enterprise teams.
BrowserFlow	No-code browser automation as a paid web service with a visual flow builder.	Cloud-dependent (no local execution); small traction; no free tier; does not fill the exact Automa void for privacy-conscious or offline users.
Browserbase	Cloud browser infrastructure for developers running automated browser sessions at scale.	Developer API product, not a no-code extension for non-technical users at all.
