Practical Notes
Treat browser-use as an execution layer: your agent decides what to do, and browser-use reliably performs how to do it in a browser. Start with deterministic tasks (open URL → extract one number), then expand to multi-step flows (login → navigate → download). For production, add guardrails: domain allowlists, human approval for purchases, and logs of every action.
Safety note: Browser automation is powerful—add permissions, allowlists, and approval gates for destructive actions.
FAQ
Q: Do I need Browser Use Cloud? A: No. The README shows an optional cloud API key; you can run locally with your own setup.
Q: Which LLMs work? A: The README lists multiple providers (e.g., Browser Use, Google, Anthropic). Pick one that fits your environment and budget.
Q: How do I make runs stable? A: Use narrow tasks, add explicit success criteria, and keep browser state clean (fresh profiles for tests).
