    Browser Use 0.13.14 finishes OpenAI's browser tools and adds Bash

    All 28 browser tools and a Bash tool for OpenAI's Responses tool runner

    Release 0.13.14 · PR #6092 · browser-use/browser-use
  2. Uploads and downloads run through single-use grants. Each grant covers one file on one page, files stop at ten megabytes, and downloads reject redirects. Larger Cloud files still have to wait.

    Uploads and downloads, up to 10 MB a file

    • + Each grant covers one file on one page, once
    • + Downloads reject redirects
    • + Larger Cloud files wait for native Cloud upload and download

  3. Page reads now keep the page's hierarchy, field values, and which boxes are checked. Output stops at ten thousand characters, and when reading fails, it retries once without ever replaying a click.

    Page reads keep the page's structure

    • + Hierarchy, field values, checked and selected states
    • + Reads, page text and scripts capped at 10,000 characters
    • + A failed read retries once; clicks and typing never replay

  4. Start a Browser Use Cloud browser without an API key, and you now get one error that says where to get a key. It replaces a hundred and thirty three log lines and three tracebacks.

    A missing Cloud key now prints one error

    ERROR [Agent] Agent run failed:
    BROWSER_USE_API_KEY is not set.
    1. Create a key (free to start)
    2. Set it: export BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=…

  5. Three smaller fixes. A failed reconnect now closes its half-built connection, the Cloud SDK's version four import works, and Cloud browsers stop telling you to try Cloud at a captcha.

    • + A failed reconnect no longer leaves a half-open browser connection
    • + Browser Use Cloud SDK V4 imports now install alongside Browser Use
    • + Cloud browsers stop suggesting Cloud when they hit a captcha

  6. This is the last release on the Python agent before the Pi migration. PyPI still serves 0.13.11 until a second release reviewer approves. Driving Browser Use with OpenAI models? This is the version I would install.
