Neurite contains flashing lights and colors that might trigger photosensitive reactions in some users. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between browser-use and Neurite? browser-use: Agents that use the browser. Neurite: Rhizomatic Mind-Mapping for Ai-Agents. See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose browser-use over Neurite?
