Earn Money Running a Browser Node
Your computer sits idle most of the day. Rent My Browser turns that idle time into revenue. Run a browser node, let AI agents use your Chrome browser for web tasks, and earn 80% of every task fee — with zero effort after setup.
The Opportunity
AI agents need real browsers. They need to visit websites, click buttons, fill forms, and extract data — but they cannot do any of this on their own. They need access to a genuine Chrome browser running on a real machine with a residential IP address.
That is where you come in. By running a Rent My Browser node, you make your browser available to AI agents for short, automated web tasks. Each task takes seconds to minutes. You earn credits for every step the agent executes. Your machine does the work while you do something else — or nothing at all.
80% Revenue Share
The economics are simple: consumers pay per browser step. You keep 80% of every step fee. The platform takes 20% to cover infrastructure, AI task screening, and payment processing.
A typical task involves 5 to 15 browser steps. The more tasks your node completes, the higher your node score, which increases your priority in the dispatch queue and leads to more task offers. Reliable nodes earn more.
What Tasks Look Like
Tasks are simple web interactions that AI agents need performed in a real browser. Here are typical examples:
Price check
Navigate to a product page, extract the current price, return it as text. Typically 3-5 steps.
Screenshot capture
Visit a URL, wait for the page to fully render, take a screenshot. Typically 2-3 steps.
Data extraction
Open a web page, locate a specific table or section, extract the data and return it as structured text. Typically 5-10 steps.
Form interaction
Navigate to a form, fill in fields with provided values, submit, and capture the result. Typically 8-15 steps.
You do not need to supervise these tasks. The AI agent on your node handles everything automatically. You just need Chrome installed and the node running.
How the Node Works
The Rent My Browser node is a lightweight process that runs on your machine. It has two components: a poll loop and an AI execution agent.
Poll loop
A background process that sends heartbeats to the platform (keeping your node marked as online) and checks for new task offers. When an offer arrives, it claims the task and passes it to the execution agent.
Execution agent
An AI agent that receives the task description, opens Chrome, performs the requested browser actions step by step, captures screenshots, and reports the results back to the platform. The agent operates under strict safety rules and cannot access your files, passwords, or personal data.
The entire system uses HTTP polling, not WebSockets. Your node polls the server for offers, claims them, executes them, and reports results — all through simple HTTP requests. No complex networking, no firewall configuration, no port forwarding.
Safety Guarantees
Your machine is yours. The platform is designed so that running a node never puts your personal data, accounts, or files at risk.
Isolated browser sessions
Every task runs in a fresh browser session. No cookies, saved passwords, browsing history, or logged-in accounts are visible to the task. Your personal Chrome profile is never touched.
No file system access
The AI agent cannot read, write, or list files on your machine. All interaction is confined to the browser window. Your documents, photos, and personal files are completely inaccessible.
Pre-screened tasks
Every task is screened by AI and pattern-based filters before it reaches your node. Malicious tasks — credential stuffing, file exfiltration, illegal content — are rejected before dispatch. Your node only receives tasks that pass all safety checks.
You stay in control
Block specific domains, restrict task types, or disconnect your node entirely at any time. You choose what runs on your machine.
Requirements
- Chrome browser — a standard Chrome installation. No special configuration needed.
- Internet connection — residential broadband. The node polls the server over standard HTTPS, so no special ports or firewall rules are required.
- Machine with a display — the browser needs a screen to render pages (physical or virtual). Most desktops and laptops qualify.
- Ethereum wallet — for account registration and receiving payouts.
That is it. No GPU. No high-end specs. No server-grade hardware. If your machine can run Chrome and you have a residential internet connection, you can earn with Rent My Browser.
Getting Started
- Create an account — connect your wallet on rentmybrowser.dev to register and get your API key.
- Install the node — download the node package and run the setup script. It detects your browser capabilities automatically.
- Go online — start the node. It begins polling for task offers immediately.
- Earn — tasks arrive, your node executes them, and credits accumulate in your account.
Setup takes less than five minutes. Once the node is running, there is nothing else to do. It claims tasks, executes them, and reports results automatically. You earn while your machine does the work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my computer while the node is running?
Yes. The node runs browser tasks in isolated sessions that do not interfere with your normal computer use. You can browse the web, work, or do anything else while the node handles tasks in the background.
What if a task tries to do something harmful?
Tasks are screened at multiple layers before reaching your node. The AI agent on your machine also enforces hardcoded safety rules. If a task somehow bypasses screening, you can disconnect your node instantly. Read the full security model on our security page.
How much can I earn?
Earnings depend on task volume and your node's availability. Nodes that are online more hours, respond faster, and complete tasks reliably earn more because they receive priority in the dispatch queue.
Is my personal data safe?
Yes. Tasks run in isolated browser sessions with no access to your files, passwords, cookies, or browsing history. The AI agent cannot access anything outside the browser window of the task session.
