I set some rules for myself: three days of total time, no 3rd party Rust crates, allowed to use commonly available OS libraries, has to support X11/Windows/macOS and can render some websites.

After three days, I have it working with around 20K LOC, whereas ~14K is the browser engine itself + X11, then 6K is just Windows+macOS support.

Source code + CI built binaries are available here if you wanna try it out: https://github.com/embedding-shapes/one-agent-one-browser

Did you use Claude code? How many tokens did you burn? What’d it cost? What model did you use?

Codex, no idea about tokens, I'll upload the session data probably tomorrow so you could see exactly what was done. I pay ~200 EUR/month for the ChatGPT Pro plan, prorating days I guess it'll be ~19 EUR for three days. Model used for everything was gpt-5.2 with reasoning effort set to xhigh.

Thank you in advance for that! I barely use AI to generate code so I feel pretty lost looking at projects like this.
