 ## What this is
 
-barebrowse is agentic browsing stripped to the bone. It gives your AI agent eyes and hands on the web -- navigate any page, see what's there, click buttons, fill forms, scroll, and move on. It uses your installed Chromium browser (Chrome, Brave, Edge -- whatever you have), reuses your existing login sessions, and handles all the friction automatically: cookie consent walls, permission prompts, and bot detection.
+barebrowse gives your AI agent a real browser. Navigate, read, interact, move on.
 
-Instead of dumping raw DOM or taking screenshots, barebrowse returns a **pruned ARIA snapshot** -- a compact semantic view of what's on the page and what the agent can interact with. Buttons, links, inputs, headings -- labeled with `[ref=N]` markers the agent uses to act. The pruning pipeline is ported from [mcprune](https://github.com/hamr0/mcprune) and cuts 40-90% of tokens compared to raw page output. Every token your agent reads is meaningful.
+It runs on whatever browser you already have -- your sessions, your cookies. Pages come back stripped to what matters -- 40-90% fewer tokens than raw output.
 
-No Playwright. No bundled browser. No 200MB download. No broken dependencies. Zero deps. Just CDP over a WebSocket to whatever Chromium you already have.
