- Browser Use Cloud agents take a task in plain language, complete it in a real browser, and return the result.
- Cloud browsers are remote Chrome instances you control over CDP, with stealth, proxies, live preview, and recording.
- The open-source
browser-uselibrary runs browser agents on your own machine.
