Metal – stealth browser for enterprise automations

#1

Post by erekp »

Hi HN!

Today we're launching Metal, a self-hosted stealth browser built for enterprise automation. We have many years of experience bypassing anti-bot protections and CAPTCHAs, and we've seen the same problems solved repeatedly with hacky solutions that don't stand the test of time.

We built Metal to address the most common challenges companies face when automating browsers or performing web scraping at scale.

Our custom browser comes with everything included—handling anti-bots, CAPTCHAs, and common deployment methods—and is entirely self-hosted, allowing companies to scale as needed without worrying about complicated usage-based pricing.

Is there any specific reason to have only Enterprise level pricing?

We're looking to deal with companies that have serious automation and scraping challenges. There are other solutions out there that are less robust and more transparent on how they bypass protections. We chose to keep ours tight to protect our clients and provide the best enterprise support we can.

Interesting, I’ve spent a lot of time over the past couple months researching the options for headless browsers in the cloud for AI agent workloads. What about user-data-dir persistence and infinite long running sessions? What about human-in-the-loop workflows with shareable embeddable browser control where a human manually takes over? If you have both these features then it’s a game changer. As for stealth alone, GoLogin and Browserless already handle this pretty well. The hard part is authentication initiation with human in the loop and session persistence.

You can probably implement that using our self-hosted solution. You'll have full access to the browser and can save sessions.

Thanks! Glad we're helping

Hopefully one day you get impacted by similar tech and your business fails. What goes around, come around and Im sure it will come around to you too. Since you dont have any details on your website about who you are or where you are located (which says a lot about the type of company and people you are) I look forward to the day your servers and data are leaked to something like Distributed Denial of Secrets (love what happened to TMSignal today)
