#42That's pretty good, I've achieved pretty much the same thing using the vercel's agent-browser, but I've tried playwright and it worked easily as good. Its good for scraping, automating stuff in the browser.

#43> Paste into Claude Code or Codex: > Set up https://github.com/browser-use/browser-harness for me. > Read `install.md` first to install and connect this repo to my real browser. Then read `SKILL.md` for normal usage. Always read `helpers.py` because that is where the functions are. When you open a setup or verification tab, activate it so I can see the active browser tab. After it is installed, open this repository i…
I thought browser-use was janky and barely worked? Or was that fixed from 1-2 years ago?
That said, I do a lot of browser automation, and have done so for over 15 years using all the tools you might imagine, and as I've researched "plain English" approaches, browser-use comes up a lot, along with other options like stagehand, etc.
Also anything older than 3 or 4 months in the LLM era is worth revisiting, since a tool's approach may be solid, but the models of that point in time may have been the weak point.

#47If I'm understanding correctly, this might be the first example of just-in-time agentic coding that I've come across.

#48Browser-use is incredible. Solving captchas via proxy is a wild experience when steering in the browser. One issue I have is the pricing. The API is straightforward and easy to deploy, but it seems the API is restricted to a paid tier. Using the inline agent sessions seems possible via the free plan. Happy to accept corrections if I'm wrong.
