Editorial view

Strawberry is among the most ambitious products in this directory and, for now, among the least suitable for unguarded use. It is an agentic browser in open beta, built on Chromium, whose central idea is persistent assistants that carry out multi-step work across sessions you are already logged into: research, form filling, outreach, follow-through that spans many pages.

The record

Desktop builds for macOS and Windows; no Linux or mobile
Credit-based commercial model, account required, beta release channel
Vertical tab orientation per profile, split tabs, workspaces, and an assistant sidebar shipped through its beta releases
Companions draft messages and generate documents and decks; meeting recording and voice dictation are documented
Preferences and companion chats sync across devices

The capability, and the risk, stated together

Most assistants answer questions about the page in front of you. These are designed to keep working across pages and sessions, which is the difference between a helpful sidebar and something closer to delegation. But an assistant acting inside authenticated sessions has your privileges, and instructions embedded in page content being read as user commands is an actively exploited attack class across agentic browsers generally. Combine that with beta software and a privacy record where blocking, fingerprinting, and AI retention and training controls are all undocumented, while the telemetry that is documented includes AI task data, and the conclusion is not that the product is bad but that it should not be pointed at anything that matters yet.

The practical recommendation

Use it to understand where agentic browsing is going, on a throwaway account or work whose exposure you would not mind. Give it credentials you can afford to rotate. Do not connect it to your email, your bank, your employer's systems, or anything under a confidentiality obligation. Those are the same precautions you would apply to any beta software granted broad access.

The unknowns here are unusually consequential: for a product whose assistants read and act inside logged-in sessions, retention and training controls are the fields a reader most needs, and their absence should weigh heavily. Watch this category. Adopt it carefully, and later rather than sooner.

Where these facts come from

Every capability above is read from a primary source and dated. 6 of 30 fields stay recorded as unknown rather than assumed.
