Sorry - Cloudflare bypass is coming this weekend!

This is also something I need btw so if you built a product on top of it, I'd be user #2 :)

Super cool. Any way to know if the endpoints are 'ethically sourced' and how they are secured wrt confidentiality & integrity?

(We have a 100K+/day scraping workload, and TBD full interactive automation)

Thank you! We do make sure we are using legitimate proxy providers. Also happy to manually set it to the provider of your choice if you are interested in doing that :)

Do you guys support handling 2FA workflows/scenarios?

Incredible that you managed to achieve such a short start time for chrome. Although for only scraping data I think something like scrapingbee or crawlbase gets the job done better, faster and cheaper. But I will consider your solution for browser automation

Creator of Browser Use here. This looks super cool! How do you spin them up so fast, firecracker?

We don't have that yet, but you could definitely do it in your own scripts right now using our browser. We'll try to think of ways to make it easier though :)

We keep "prewarmed" browsers ready for new sessions. Looking into firecracker though!

Of course, would love for you to take a look! I mentioned in another comment but we are working on lower cost/faster scraping focused endpoints, It's coming next week
