# Overview

Kernel's browsers are compatible with all browser and Computer Use frameworks.

## Universal CDP compatibility

Kernel browsers work with any framework or tool that supports the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). This means you can:

* **Use any agent framework**: Integrate with popular frameworks like Browser Use, Stagehand, Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, and more
* **Connect via CDP**: All browsers expose a CDP WebSocket URL for direct connection
* **No vendor lock-in**: Switch between frameworks or use multiple frameworks simultaneously
* **Standard protocols**: Built on open standards that work with the entire browser automation ecosystem

## Computer Use

For vision-language models (VLMs) that predict browser actions from screenshots, Kernel provides [Computer Controls APIs](/browsers/computer-controls) that enable direct mouse, keyboard, and screen interactions. These low-level controls let you:

* Capture screenshots to send to your VLM
* Execute predicted actions (clicks, typing, scrolling, dragging)
* Build custom agentic loops with any VLM provider

This approach works with any computer use model, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI CUA, Google Gemini, and others.

## Custom Integrations

Kernel works with any tool that supports CDP. See [how you drive the browser](/introduction/driving-the-browser) to pick a control surface, and the [control guide](/introduction/control) for connecting any other framework.

Automating a specific website reliably is usually a skill, not an integration — see [site-specific skills](/skills/site-specific).
