Browser Use 1.0.2
Browser Use 1.0.2 is a fix release: its MCP mode now launches its own Chromium when Chrome's remote debugging is off, CLI and MCP calls wait 20 seconds on slow pages, and a new feedback command and tool let users and agents report problems.
Why it matters
Developers wiring Browser Use into Claude, Cursor or other MCP clients no longer get stuck on Chrome's remote-debugging setup, and frozen pages now fail fast with a clear error.
What's new
- browser-use --cli-mcp drives its own Chromium when Chrome remote debugging is off, and tells the agent how to switch to your own Chrome.
- CDP calls from the CLI and MCP now wait 20 seconds, matching the agent; a page frozen by a JavaScript dialog fails fast with an error explaining how to handle it.
- On Windows, open() inside MCP browser_exec code reads and writes UTF-8.
- New browser-use feedback command, browser_use.feedback() function, report_issue() for the agent and a browser_feedback MCP tool; the release says text is scrubbed before it is sent.
Taken from the project's own release notes. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.
Worth knowing: The new feedback tools send text to the Browser Use team; the release says it is scrubbed first.
