Kernel

Kernel's hosted browsers, with fast cold starts and an optional stealth mode.

Kernel runs browsers in the cloud. Each read opens one session, renders the page and releases it.

  • Billed by session time, rounded up to one minute.
  • Refuses a session that could pass your max_cost_usd.
  • Your key travels only in the connection URL, never in errors.

Set FRANKENSURF_KERNEL_API_KEY. Default rate $0.10/hour; set yours with FRANKENSURF_KERNEL_USD_PER_HOUR.

Once its key is set, it joins any read that allows paid tools. To use it on its own:

page = await web.read(
"https://example.com/products/2231",
provider="kernel",
policy_overrides={"allow_paid_fallbacks": True},
)
