# Concepts

## Browser

A `Browser` is a cloud-based browser managed by Kernel. They accept Chrome DevTools Protocol connections and can be used to run browser automations or web agents.

## Browser Pool

A `Browser Pool` is a set of identically-configured browsers that Kernel keeps ready for immediate use. You acquire a browser from the pool when a task starts and release it back when the task finishes. Browser pools remove browser start-up latency from your workload — see [Browser Pools](/browsers/pools).

The App Platform's object model — apps, actions, and invocations — is defined on the [App Platform overview](/apps/overview).
