MCPSafari vs GenericAgent

MCPSafari: MCPSafari is a native Safari MCP server that gives AI agents full control over Safari on macOS. It provides 23 secure tools for tab management, navigation, page reading, interaction, screenshots, JavaScript execution, and debugging. Built with Swift and a Manifest V3 Safari extension, it offers better performance and privacy than Chrome-based alternatives.; GenericAgent: GenericAgent is a minimal autonomous agent framework with about 3K lines of core code, 9 atomic tools and a roughly 100-line agent loop that gives an LLM control of the browser, terminal, filesystem, keyboard/mouse, screen and Android devices. Each solved task is crystallized into a reusable skill, so capabilities grow with use.
