Bardeen

A browser extension that scrapes and automates the websites you visit every day.

What is it?

Bardeen lives in your Chrome browser. It can read what is on the page, pull it into a spreadsheet or CRM, and run actions across tabs, which is something server-based tools like Zapier cannot do.

The classic use is sales prospecting: open a list of profiles or search results, click once, and Bardeen extracts names, roles and company details into Google Sheets or HubSpot. There is a large library of ready-made playbooks, and you can describe a new one in plain English.

It only works while your browser is open, and websites change their layouts often, so scrapers can break without warning. Treat it as a tool for hands-on tasks rather than one that runs quietly in the background.

Who it's for

Salespeople, recruiters and researchers who spend their day copying details out of websites.

Best for

  • Scraping LinkedIn and directories
  • Prospect lists into a CRM
  • Copying data between browser tabs
  • One-click page summaries

Why it made the list

It fills the gap the server-based tools leave: anything that needs to happen inside your browser, on sites without an official connection.
