Questions about browser
What does the browser skill do?
Use when the user already has browser automation and wants it unblocked or run in the cloud: Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium or another driver, a headless script that gets blocked, detected, or rate limited locally, or a computer-use AI that clicks by itself and needs somewhere to click. Also for asks that name CDP, connectOverCDP, browserWSEndpoint, a remote WebDriver, a websocket browser endpoint, or Browser API. Not for building the scraper for them (use scrape), not for one page as markdown, HTML, or a screenshot (use fetch), not for a search query (use search).
How do I install browser?
In a terminal: npx skills add brightdata/skills --skill browser. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.

Is browser safe to use?
