Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Browser Use scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Browser Automation with browser-use CLI

Core Workflows

Workflow 1: Page Interaction

  1. Navigate to URL with browser-use open
  2. Inspect elements with browser-use state
  3. Interact using element indices (click, type, select)
  4. Verify result with state or screenshot

Workflow 2: Form Filling

  1. Open target page
  2. Get element indices via state
  3. Fill each field using browser-use input
  4. Submit and verify success

Workflow 3: Data Extraction

  1. Navigate to data source
  2. Use Python session for complex extraction
  3. Scroll through paginated content
  4. Export results

The browser-use command provides fast, persistent browser automation. It maintains browser sessions across commands, enabling complex multi-step workflows.

Quick Start

browser-use open https://example.com           # Navigate to URL
browser-use state                              # Get page elements with indices
browser-use click 5                            # Click element by index
browser-use type "Hello World"                 # Type text
browser-use screenshot                         # Take screenshot
browser-use close                              # Close browser

Core Workflow

  1. Navigate: browser-use open <url> - Opens URL (starts browser if needed)
  2. Inspect: browser-use state - Returns clickable elements with indices
  3. Interact: Use indices from state to interact (browser-use click 5, browser-use input 3 "text")
  4. Verify: browser-use state or browser-use screenshot to confirm actions
  5. Repeat: Browser stays open between commands

Browser Modes

browser-use --browser chromium open <url>      # Default: headless Chromium
browser-use --browser chromium --headed open <url>  # Visible Chromium window
browser-use --browser real open <url>          # User's Chrome with login sessions
browser-use --browser remote open <url>        # Cloud browser (requires API key)
  • chromium: Fast, isolated, headless by default
  • real: Uses your Chrome with cookies, extensions, logged-in sessions
  • remote: Cloud-hosted browser with proxy support (requires BROWSER_USE_API_KEY)

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
