Browser Use CLI Tested Notes
These checks were actually performed in this environment.
Successful checks

Observed state output was consistent in both Chromium and real-browser mode:
- page title:
Example Domain - indexed clickable element visible in state output
Important installation nuance
browser-use install tried to install browser/system dependencies and failed because dependency installation wanted sudo.
Despite that failure, the CLI still worked for local smoke tests in this environment.
Implication:
- do not assume
browser-use installmust fully succeed before every local test - if local commands already work, continue
- if a target machine is missing dependencies, expect Linux setup friction around system packages
Not tested here
- Browser Use cloud auth with a real API key
- Cloud tasks / cloud v2 or v3 passthrough
- Tunnels
- MCP stdio mode
- Full login-reuse flows against a real authenticated site
