What problem does it solve?

Browser-use removes the repetitive friction of manually navigating websites, filling forms, and collecting data by automating browser interactions for web testing and information gathering.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated browser interactions: open pages, inspect clickable elements, click, type, upload files, and drive multi-step flows using element indices.
  • Verification and evidence: capture screenshots and re-check page state to confirm results.
  • Data extraction: return page title, text, HTML, element attributes, bounding boxes, and JavaScript-evaluated results.
  • Session persistence: keep a daemon/browser open across commands to reduce latency and speed up iterative workflows.
  • Authenticated and cloud browsing: connect to an existing Chrome session (preserve logins/cookies) or use cloud browsers for zero-config automation.

Quick Start

Ask your agent to open the target site and guide the flow by running browser-use open https://example.com and then browser-use state to obtain element indices for the next actions.

Frequently Asked Questions about browser-use

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate web form filling and testing without losing my authenticated browser session?

Automated web form filling and testing preserves your authenticated browser session by connecting to an existing Chrome instance or using background daemons. This maintains login cookies across multiple commands, enabling continuous multi-step form interactions without repeated authentication.

Can I extract structured web data and capture screenshots during live browser automation?

Browser automation extracts structured web data and captures screenshots during live interactions. It returns page titles, text content, HTML, element attributes, bounding boxes, and JavaScript evaluation results, while simultaneously capturing visual evidence to verify page states and confirm automation outcomes.

What is the best way to interact with web elements using indices for multi-step web testing?

Interacting with web elements using indices for multi-step web testing involves inspecting clickable elements to obtain their specific index values. You then issue open, click, type, and upload commands referencing these indices to drive complex navigation flows and verify each interaction step sequentially.

Does browser automation support connecting to existing Chrome profiles or cloud browsers for zero-config testing?

Browser automation supports connecting to existing Chrome profiles to preserve logins and cookies for authenticated browsing. It also integrates with cloud browsers, providing zero-config automation environments that eliminate local setup requirements and enable scalable web testing workflows.

How do I reduce latency when running iterative web extraction and interaction commands?

Reducing latency during iterative web extraction and interaction commands is achieved through session persistence. A background daemon keeps the browser open continuously across multiple commands, eliminating repeated browser initialization overhead and significantly speeding up iterative testing workflows.
