OpenGrid Lab

OpenGrid Lab is an independent web research project exploring browser tooling, digital freedom, and the ethics of automation.

Founded by Alex Carter in Portland, Oregon, the lab publishes open-access insights for developers, virtual assistants, and data explorers navigating the modern web.

You can learn what this lab is about, see tools I actually use, or explore longform guides as they’re added.
