Milo review
A customizable browser workspace for page-aware automation across desktop platforms.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Milo is an open-source desktop browser for people who want to organize web work and automate multi-step browser tasks. Its agent workspace is designed for long-running tasks, while an AI sidebar can inspect pages and automate actions with page context. Workspaces can use tabs, bookmarks, downloads, and page state as context. Alongside those AI features, Milo includes translation, split views, passkeys, downloads, and workspace profiles, making it relevant to users who want browsing and workflow tools in one customizable desktop environment. It supports macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Customization and ecosystem fit are central to the product. Users can shape the start page with widgets, embeds, notes, and shortcuts, and author user scripts to augment web pages. Local widget packages use milo:// and widget:// protocols. Milo can import browsing history and bookmarks from Chromium-based browsers and offers compatibility with selected Chrome extensions. The project is built as an Electron desktop application and supports configurable OpenAI-compatible providers for agents, translation, and learning. These options suit people who want to adjust their browser workspace and connect AI features to compatible providers; users who depend on a specific extension should check whether it is among those supported.
The project is at an early stage, with version 0.1.0 and no releases shown. That makes Milo a better fit for users willing to work with an evolving open-source browser than for those seeking a mature, established browser workflow. Its standout breadth is in workspace context, agent tasks, scripts, and widgets, while the verified AI research feature set is limited. Choose Milo if those customizable workspace and automation capabilities are your priority. If you need broad extension compatibility, a more mature release history, or extensive AI research features, another browser may be a better match.
