Direct browser control via CDP for web interaction: automation, scraping, testing, screenshots, and site/app work.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Browser Use
Direct browser control via CDP. For task-specific edits, use `agent-workspace/agent_helpers.py`. For setup, install, or connection problems, read https://github.com/browser-use/browser-harness/blob/main/install.md.
## When Not to Use
A basic fetch of public information needs no browser. If a plain HTTP request can read it — a public page, an API, docs — use `curl` or your fetch tool, and leave the browser alone. Use browser-use when the task needs interaction (click, type, navigate), the user's logged-in session, JS rendering, or a bot-protected page. If a direct fetch fails or returns a shell page, then escalate to the browser.
Domain skills are off by default. Set `BH_DOMAIN_SKILLS=1` to enable them; see the bottom section.
**If `BH_DOMAIN_SKILLS=1` and the task is site-specific, read every file in the matching `$BH_AGENT_WORKSPACE/domain-skills/<site>/` directory before inventing an approach.**
## Usage
```bash
browser-use <<'PY'
print(page_info())
PY
```
- Invoke as `browser-use`. Use heredocs for multi-line commands.
- Helpers are pre-imported. `run.py` calls `ensure_daemon()` before `exec`.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.d616bee, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
