Browser Use

What it is

Browser Use wraps Playwright with a structured DOM representation and gives any LLM a clean tool interface for navigating sites. It's the de-facto OSS choice when you want to run browser agents in your own infra.

Notes from using it

Browser Use is the OSS choice for teams that want browser agents in their own infrastructure with whatever LLM they prefer. The library wraps Playwright with a structured DOM representation that LLMs understand reliably — meaningfully better than raw screenshot-based approaches for sites with complex DOMs.

The production reality: Browser Use the library is fine, but anti-bot evasion, proxy rotation, captcha handling, and session management are still your problem. Teams running Browser Use at scale have built or bought all of that infrastructure on top. The managed cloud tier is in beta and addresses some of this, but maturity trails.

Where it shines: technical teams building custom workflows where consumer browser-agent products don't fit — vertical-specific scrapers, internal automation tools, large-scale enrichment pipelines. The community moves fast; the codebase reflects that with both the upside (rapid feature shipping) and downside (docs lag, breaking changes between versions).

Where it shines

• Model-agnostic — works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, local models.
• Active community, fast-moving repo.

Where it falls down

• You're responsible for proxying, anti-bot evasion, and reliability.
• Docs lag features.
