We present SUPERBROWSER, an autonomous web-navigation agent designed against a single guiding hypothesis: a web agent should browse the way a person browses. A human reading a page does not retain every pixel they have seen; they look at a few candidate targets, decide on one, and remember only what is needed to keep the goal alive. We operationalize this perception-cognition-action triad as three coupled mechanisms. First, a vision-first bounding-box pipeline labels candidate interactive regions on every screenshot and feeds them, asynchronously prefetched, to the language model so that the "eye" precedes the "hand". Second, a three-role brain -- an Orchestrator that classifies and routes, a Planner that evaluates progress every few steps, and a Worker that emits per-step actions -- separates strategic from operational reasoning. Third, a structured Ledger stores only what a person would: the goal, the last three actions, a small set of facts and dead-ends, and a handful of checkpoints; a six-phase eviction loop systematically discards stale screenshots, state blobs, and reasoning traces from the live context. Action execution is a three-tier click cascade (Chrome DevTools Protocol to Puppeteer to scripted) with humanized Bezier motion, plus a chevron-aware bounding-box snapper that resolves the "small arrow beside a large label" ambiguity. On the Mind2Web Hard benchmark (66 tasks), SUPERBROWSER attains 89.47% success, placing third overall and ahead of every published open/research browser-agent baseline by a large margin. We argue that the gain comes not from any single trick but from the consistent application of a cognitive contract throughout the system.
