Unofficial fork: browser-use-volcengine is a drop-in replacement for browser-use with Volcengine / Ark compatibility patches. Install this package, keep importing browser_use, and follow the upstream Browser Use docs unless this README notes otherwise. This package is not an official Volcengine package.

What can Browser Use do?

Browser Use lets an AI agent use a web browser the same way you do — it opens pages, clicks buttons, types, and fills in forms. You describe the task, and it completes it. For example, you can have it:

📋 Fill Forms

Task: "Fill in this job application with my resume and information."

Example code ↗

🍎 Extract data

Task: "Extract structured data about my followers and export it as a CSV."

💻 QA Automation

Task: "QA test my local website and report any bugs, usability issues, and visual inconsistencies."

Quickstart

If you want to use Browser Use in your agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, etc.), paste this prompt, and it sets everything up itself:

Install or upgrade browser-use-volcengine to the latest stable version with uv using Python 3.12, run `browser-use-volcengine skill install` to register the skill, and connect it to my browser. If setup or connection fails, follow https://github.com/browser-use/browser-harness/blob/main/install.md.

Then tell your agent what you want done.

Python library: the easiest way to automate the web

Want to automate the web at scale, from your own code, and with any LLM? Use the Python library:

1. Install the Browser Use Volcengine fork (Python >= 3.11):

uv init && uv add browser-use-volcengine && uv sync
# uvx browser-use-volcengine install  # Run if you don't have Chromium installed

2. Add your LLM API key to .env. Get one from Browser Use Cloud, or bring your own provider key:

# .env
BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=your-key
# GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-key
# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key

3. Run your first agent:

import asyncio

from browser_use import Agent, ChatBrowserUse

async def main():
    agent = Agent(
        task="Find the number of stars of the browser-use repo",
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(model='openai/gpt-5.5'),
        # llm=ChatBrowserUse(model='bu-2-0'),  # Browser Use's optimized model
        # llm=ChatOpenAI(model='gpt-5.5'),
        # llm=ChatAnthropic(model='claude-opus-4-8'),  # Sonnet also works well
    )
    history = await agent.run()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Open Source vs Cloud

We benchmark Browser Use across 100 real-world browser tasks. Full benchmark is open source: browser-use/benchmark.

Browser Use is also #1 on the Odysseys leaderboard with an 87.4% average, ahead of computer-use agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft. Odysseys measures the agent's performance on 200 long-horizon web tasks.

Use the Open-Source Agent

• Free, and runs on your own machine
• Deep code-level integration and control: pick your LLM, customize the agent's behavior
• We recommend pairing it with our cloud browsers for leading stealth, proxy rotation, and scaling

Use the Fully-Hosted Cloud Agent (recommended)

• Much more powerful agent for complex tasks (see plot above)
• Easiest way to start and scale
• Best stealth with proxy rotation and captcha solving
• 1000+ integrations (Gmail, Slack, Notion, and more)
• Persistent filesystem and memory
