mcp-chrome vs GenericAgent

mcp-chrome: Chrome MCP Server transforms your Chrome browser into an AI-controlled automation tool by exposing its functionality via the Model Context Protocol. It allows LLMs and AI assistants like Claude to interact with your browser, leveraging your existing user habits and login states for complex tasks.; 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.
