Yes, if you are using the browser-use package or need its underlying browser automation infrastructure. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and supports current Python versions. However, clarify the license terms before use in proprietary contexts, and verify whether you need browser-use itself rather than installing this core package directly.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.11 or later (and less than 4.0).
- Platform-specific wheels available for macOS (Intel/ARM), Linux (x86_64/aarch64), and Windows.
- Medium install friction due to 11 runtime dependencies including native libraries (lxml, pillow, curl-cffi) and platform-specific wheels.

What it is and what it does
browser-use-core is a binary and resource package that carries Rust terminal binaries and Python worker components for the browser-use agent framework. It is designed as a low-level carrier package and intentionally does not expose a high-level Python API—that remains in the browser-use package itself. The package provides the underlying infrastructure needed for browser automation, including compiled binaries for multiple platforms and supporting Python libraries for web interaction, document parsing, and data handling.
The package depends on a substantial set of runtime libraries: web scraping tools (beautifulsoup4, lxml), HTTP clients (requests, curl-cffi, websocket-client), data processing (pandas, tabulate), document handling (pypdf, pillow), and specialized browser control modules (cdp-use, fetch-use). This dependency footprint suggests it handles complex browser interactions including DOM parsing, PDF extraction, image processing, and protocol-level communication.
Use it for
- Provide compiled browser control binaries as a dependency for the browser-use agent framework
- Enable cross-platform browser automation by bundling pre-built Rust binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Support web scraping and document extraction workflows through integrated PDF and image processing
- Facilitate headless browser testing and interaction in CI/CD pipelines
