Rename Browser Eval references to Webstone
Browse filesThe GitHub repository lexmount/browser-eval is now lexmount/webstone. Prose and links only; manifest.json, snapshots.json and definitions/ are unchanged, so pinned revisions and hashes stay valid.

LexBench-Web-Fetch evaluates whether a browser, extraction tool or hosted fetch service returns the content an AI agent needs from a URL. Its 550 task entries cover page bodies, structured records with usable links, resource discovery and file delivery. Each task declares what the returned answer must contain, so the same acceptance rules apply to every participant.
|
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
+
Use it to compare live-site fetching, diagnose incomplete extraction, or test a saved response after changing a parser. [Webstone](https://github.com/lexmount/webstone) provides the scorer, execution adapters, evidence storage and comparison reports. Scoring saved answers requires no browser, provider account or LLM judge.
