Browser Use combines an open-source AI browser agent framework, fully managed web agents, and affordable, stealthy browser infrastructure. Run agents locally or in the cloud to navigate websites, complete workflows, and extract structured data. Use the browser infrastructure independently with your own automation through CDP, Playwright, or Puppeteer, with API and SDK access for both agents and browsers.
Browserless provides headless browser infrastructure as a service for web scraping, testing, and AI automation. It offers managed Chrome and Firefox instances with Puppeteer and Playwright compatibility, automatic scaling, session recording, and anti-detection features. Browserless is used by thousands of companies for web data extraction and automated browser testing.
