LaBrowser

LaBrowser

Instrument real web behavior

See what participants actually do.

A dedicated research browser that captures participant browsing behavior as structured data — and, when the study calls for it, lets you apply controlled changes to the live pages participants see. Participants browse naturally. You see the full picture.

Bring a study design or a feasibility question — we'll map whether LaBrowser can support it, what needs configuration, and where the limits are.

Decision making

Participants research a product or topic — across search engines, review sites, forums, Wikipedia — then make a choice in your experiment.

You see what they chose, but not which sources they found, how they compared options, how they refined their queries, or what they ignored.

AI interaction

Participants use AI assistants alongside search engines. When do they turn to AI vs. Google? How do they phrase prompts? Do they verify answers — click links, cross-check — or trust the AI fully?

The prompting behavior, the switching, the verification habits — all invisible to you.

Usability

Participants complete a task on a website. How many clicks before they reach the goal? Do they use search or navigate menus? Where do they get stuck and backtrack?

You see whether they finished, but not the navigation path, the dead ends, or the hesitations.

So researchers fall back on screen recordings, browser extensions, and think-aloud protocols. They either miss the behavior, blur the privacy boundary, or leave you coding video by hand.

The browser is the one place where the behavior is already visible. LaBrowser makes it measurable.

How behavioral studies run in LaBrowser

1

Define your study

Set allowed domains, capture rules, and start URL in the Study Console. Add an experiment pane for instructions.

2

Participants browse

They use LaBrowser instead of their normal browser. Everything inside is logged. Everything outside is untouched.

3

Analyze structured data

Every navigation, click, search query, and chat prompt — captured as typed, timestamped events. Export or explore in the Console.

Try it yourself

Don't take our word for it. Let us instrument you.

Do a 60-second task in a fully simulated mini-web — a fake Google, a fake AI assistant. Then we flip the panel and reconstruct your own browsing as the exact structured data LaBrowser captures from real participants.

google.com/search?q=…
You browse — naturally, like any other tab
Reconstructed event stream
INPUT_SUBMIT "battery life…"
NAVIGATE → result
SCROLL dwell 4.2s
TAB_SWITCHED → AI
AI_RESPONSE paired to prompt
We reconstruct — every query, click, and tool switch

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Site augmentation

Not just observation. Controlled intervention.

Most web research tools can only watch what happened. LaBrowser can also

change the study environment

— hide distracting elements, label recommendation modules, suppress variants, or compare conditions on the real, live website.

So you study behavior in the actual context where decisions happen, without building a fake clone of the web.

Recommended for you

Control — page as participants normally see it
shop.example.com

Recommendation shelf — removed for this condition

Augmented — operator-configured, recorded as events

Hide or label elements

Remove recommendation shelves, mark promoted modules, or annotate interface regions.

Conditions on live sites

Compare control vs. treatment experiences without rebuilding the website.

Output stays analyzable

Every augmentation is tied to structured event data, so analysis knows exactly what the participant saw.

Built for web behavior research

Full event capture

Navigation, clicks, scrolls, search queries, chat prompts. Not limited by extension APIs.

Domain enforcement

Whitelist exactly which sites participants can visit. No distractions, no data leakage.

Experiment pane

Show instructions or custom experimental UI alongside the browsing pane.

Structured parsers

Auto-detect Google search sessions and ChatGPT conversations. Build custom parsers for any site.

Recovery-aware sessions

Data is stored locally first, resumes syncing after interruptions, and supports recovery if a session is interrupted.

Privacy boundary

Everything in LaBrowser is logged. Your normal browser is not. Email addresses are automatically anonymized before data is stored.
