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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00003 $0.01690

Security

Grade A, and why

fast-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (src/dom/extract_dom.js, src/tools/convert_to_markdown.js, src/tools/hover.js, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Fastest Browser Use

A Rust-based browser automation engine that provides a lightweight binary driving Chrome directly via CDP. It is optimized for token-efficient DOM extraction, robust session management, and speed.

Terminal Demo

🧪 Recipes for Agents

1. Bypass "Bot Detection" via Human Emulation

Simulate mouse jitter and random delays to scrape protected sites.

fast-browser-use navigate --url "https://protected-site.com" \
  --human-emulation \
  --wait-for-selector "#content"

2. The "Deep Freeze" Snapshot

Capture the entire DOM state and computed styles for perfect reconstruction later.

fast-browser-use snapshot --include-styles --output state.json

3. Login & Cookie Heist

Log in manually once, then steal the session for headless automation.

Step 1: Open non-headless for manual login

fast-browser-use login --url "https://github.com/login" --save-session ./auth.json

Step 2: Reuse session later

fast-browser-use navigate --url "https://github.com/dashboard" --load-session ./auth.json

4. 🚜 Infinite Scroll Harvester

Extract fresh data from infinite-scroll pages — perfect for harvesting the latest posts, news, or social feeds.

# Harvest headlines from Hacker News (scrolls 3x, waits 800ms between)
fast-browser-use harvest \
  --url "https://news.ycombinator.com" \
  --selector ".titleline a" \
  --scrolls 3 \
  --delay 800 \
  --output headlines.json

Real output (59 unique items in ~6 seconds):

[
  "Genode OS is a tool kit for building highly secure special-purpose OS",
  "Mobile carriers can get your GPS location",
  "Students using \"humanizer\" programs to beat accusations of cheating with AI",
  "Finland to end \"uncontrolled human experiment\" with ban on youth social media",
  ...
]

Works on any infinite scroll page: Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn feeds, search results, etc.

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.
