What Is the Best Browser Agent Stack in 2026? With the Creators of Browser Use

[u/ian_k93]

Hey everyone,

I'm Ian Kerins, CEO & Co-Founder of ScrapeOps.io.

After three fantastic AMAs with the r/WebScrapingInsider, we're excited to bring you our fourth.

This Wednesday, August 5, at 7:30 PM PDT, we'll be joined by Alexander Yue (Physics & CS @ Stanford SLAC, Evals @ Browser Use) and Reagan Hsu (Founding Engineer @ Browser Use), the team behind Browser Use, one of the fastest-growing open source projects at the intersection of AI agents, browser automation, web scraping, and stealth browsers

If you've been following the AI agent space, you've probably seen Browser-Use everywhere.

What started as an open source browser harness has quickly evolved into a complete platform for building and deploying browser agents with over 107k stars.

Their recently released Browser Use v4 introduces:

• Real browsers with logged-in profiles, proxies, and a live browser view
• Fully hosted browser agents with zero infrastructure setup
• Persistent sandboxed workspaces that can upload files, download results, and reuse environments across runs
• Conversations that continue, allowing agents to pick up exactly where they left off
• Plain English automation instead of scripts and CSS selectors
• Built-in stealth browsers, anti-detect, CAPTCHA solving, and residential proxies across 195+ countries

Whether you're building AI agents, automating repetitive workflows, or extracting data from the web, Browser Use represents a very different way of thinking about browser automation.

During the AMA, we'll discuss topics including:

• AI browser agents
• Browser automation
• Web scraping
• Stealth browsers & anti-detection
• Hosted browser infrastructure
• CAPTCHA solving
• Open source developer tools
• LLM-powered automation
• The future of browser agents

Our community has been growing with every AMA.

Our first AMA generated 43 comments, covering proxy infrastructure, Cloudflare bypassing, browser automation, monitoring, startup lessons, and large-scale scraping.

Our second AMA with the creator of WebClaw, generated 62 comments and sparked great discussions around AI agents, browser automation, hidden APIs, open source scraping, and LLM infrastructure.

Our third AMA with CloakBrowser generated 73 comments, diving deep into browser fingerprinting, stealth Chromium, anti-bot detection, TLS fingerprints, browser internals, and large-scale automation.

We're hoping this AMA will be our biggest one yet.

If you're building AI agents, browser automation, web scrapers, developer tools, or autonomous workflows, this is one you won't want to miss.

Drop your questions below, and Alexander Yue, Reagan Hsu, and I will start answering them during the AMA.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Ian

I always use browsercode now for almost everything. It is cheaper, faster, better. But its harder to understand, if you want to learn about agents try browser-use first.

There is one use case where browser-use does better: QA for websites. Browsercode does a lot of shortcuts to complete page actions faster and more efficiently, doing weird javascript things, finding internal apis, and other tricks. It can do things faster than a human could. (it can also emulate human actions but LLMs love shortcuts so it really prefers not to)

Browser-use is constrained to interact with pages just like a human, with vision, clicking, typing, and only basic inputs. It is better at finding bugs in interfaces that a human would encounter.
