browser-use
119kA Python library that gives an agent a browser and a task in plain words: go here, find this, fill that in. A hundred thousand stars, MIT.
We have not run it ourselves: described from the docs and the repository.

What it is
Half of the routine on the internet is not thinking but repetition: collect prices from ten sites, pull a report from a dashboard with no API, fill the same form forty times. browser-use takes that part: you describe the task in words, the agent opens a browser and works through the steps itself.
What sets it apart from Playwright MCP, its neighbour in this catalogue, is who holds the wheel. There the browser is handed to the model as tools inside your conversation with Claude Code, which suits you while you sit and watch. Here it is a Python library you build your own script or service from, and it is what you want when the job has to run on a schedule, without you.
