What is Browser Use?
Browser Use is the most popular OSS bridge between LLMs and Playwright. Your agent receives a structured DOM and screenshot, decides what to click/type, and the library handles the actual browser interaction. Effectively replaces fragile selectors with LLM reasoning.
Pros & cons
Pros
- The de-facto way to give agents browser access in 2025+
- Works with any LLM that supports vision
- Async-first; integrates cleanly with LangGraph, CrewAI
- Active and very fast-moving project
Cons
- Burns tokens — every step sends a screenshot + DOM diff
- Real-world site reliability still hovers around 70–80%
What's actually free?
OSS Python library free; Browser Use Cloud has free tier with paid hosted runs.
