Overview

Browserbase provides managed headless browser infrastructure designed for AI agents and automation workflows. It handles the underlying complexity of running, scaling, and observing browsers in the cloud, letting developers focus on agent logic rather than provisioning Chromium instances. The platform supports real-time interaction with live browser sessions, session recording for debugging, and integrations with popular automation frameworks like Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium. It also offers features such as stealth mode, proxies, and file handling to support a range of web-based agent tasks across platforms.

Key features

  • Managed cloud browsers for AI agents
  • Live session view and replay
  • Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium support
  • Proxy and stealth browsing options
  • File upload and download handling
  • APIs and SDKs for agent frameworks

Use cases

Run AI agents on live websites at scale

Deploy AI agents that browse and interact with websites using managed cloud Chromium instances, scaling horizontally without provisioning servers.

Debug agent behavior with session replay

Use live session view and replay to observe how agents navigate pages, diagnose failures, and refine automation logic.

Automate web tasks with Playwright or Puppeteer

Connect existing Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium scripts to Browserbase's cloud browsers for parallel execution and file handling.

Scrape and access protected sites

Leverage built-in proxies and stealth browsing to collect data or run agent workflows on sites that block standard automation.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium support is exactly what I needed, and scales horizontally for parallel browser sessions. I do wish performance depends on target site complexity, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: aPIs and SDKs for agent frameworks and works with standard tools like Playwright and Puppeteer. On balance the feature set — especially file upload and download handling — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.

Years in this space

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is proxy and stealth browsing options — handled better than most — and works with standard tools like Playwright and Puppeteer. Usage-based pricing can grow with heavy workloads is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Q&A

How is Browserbase related to Stagehand?

Stagehand is the AI SDK for browser agents created and maintained by Browserbase. It provides Playwright‑level control combined with AI primitives (act, extract, observe) and integrates with major agent frameworks such as LangChain, CrewAI, and Mastra. Together with the Model Gateway, Stagehand lets teams benchmark models against real web workflows and switch models without code changes. Think of Browserbase as the engine and Stagehand as the intelligent driver; they work together to make web automation more accessible and reliable.

Asked by Xiomara Delgado · May 17, 2026

What regions are you in?

Browserbase operates globally with infrastructure in multiple regions: North America – US East and US West; Europe – EU Central and UK; Asia Pacific – available upon request for enterprise customers. This global footprint ensures low latency and optimal performance regardless of user location or target website geography.

Asked by Daniel Schmidt · May 16, 2026

Can I bring my own proxies?

Yes. Browserbase supports custom proxy configurations. You can configure residential proxies for geo‑specific automation, use rotating proxy pools for large‑scale operations, set up custom proxy authentication, and integrate with your existing proxy providers. The platform also includes built‑in proxy rotation and IP management features for enhanced reliability and stealth.

Asked by Quyen Tran · Apr 28, 2026

Can I run my browsers on prem?

Browserbase is a cloud‑first platform designed for scalability and reliability and does not offer on‑prem deployment. However, it provides enterprise‑grade security with SOC 2 compliance, private cloud options for large enterprises, VPC connectivity for secure integration with existing infrastructure, and data‑residency controls to meet regulatory requirements. Consulting services are available to help architect hybrid deployments if needed.

Asked by Oksana Melnyk · Apr 29, 2026

What automation frameworks does Browserbase support?

Browserbase offers native compatibility with all major browser automation frameworks: Playwright – full support for TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, and .NET; Puppeteer – complete Node.js integration with Chrome DevTools Protocol; Selenium – WebDriver compatibility across all language bindings; Stagehand – the AI‑powered automation framework for natural‑language workflows. All frameworks work out‑of‑the‑box with the cloud infrastructure, requiring no additional setup.
