# Browser Use

Lets an LLM drive a real browser to complete multi-step web tasks from Python code or a CLI

Category: Browser and computer use. Pricing: Open source. License: MIT.

Platforms: claude-code, codex, cursor.

## Why you would want it

Browser Use is an open-source browser agent: you give it a task in plain language and a model, and it opens a browser, works through the site and returns a result. It works with OpenAI, Anthropic and Google models or local models through Ollama, accepts custom tools registered as Python functions, and can drive a local Chrome profile, a remote browser over CDP or a Browser Use Cloud browser. A CLI gives existing agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor browser access, and an integration implements Claude's browser toolset with Browser Use as the driver.

## Best for

- Python apps that automate tasks on real websites
- Giving a coding agent browser access
- Projects that may move to hosted browsers later

## Use it when

You want an agent that completes tasks on live websites, such as forms, bookings and lookups, from your own Python code with your choice of model.

## Skip it if

You only need fixed, scripted browser steps with no model in the loop. The library needs Python 3.11 or later, and stealth browsers, proxies and the BU2 model are paid Browser Use Cloud services.

## Install

Install with uv:

```sh
uv add browser-use
```
