Limitations / Considerations

Requires Python 3.11 or higher for installation
Users need to manage their own API keys for the AI providers they choose to use
The project's license is currently unknown, which may affect its use in certain contexts

Selenium: A popular tool for browser automation that focuses on web testing but lacks the AI integration featured in browser-use.
Puppeteer: A Node library which provides a high-level API over the DevTools Protocol, similar in scope to browser-use but without the AI capabilities.
Playwright: A library for automating Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit with a single API, which browser-use can leverage for browser automation.
