- Added an experimental Obscura engine (--engine obscura), launched and cleaned up locally like Chrome with bounded startup and CLI/MCP support. Obscura still has accessibility and rendering gaps,…
- Added private CA trust for CLI HTTPS requests so read, install, upgrade and doctor work behind TLS inspection. --ca-cert now applies to them on every platform, the new --use-system-ca uses the…
- Fixed selector-scoped snapshots (snapshot -s) so elements under ignored wrappers are no longer printed twice and shadow root content of a selected custom element is no longer dropped
- Fixed --auto-connect to wait up to 30s while Chrome 144+ shows the remote-debugging prompt, so it no longer opens repeated prompts or fails with "No running Chrome instance found"
- Fixed daemon responsiveness during long commands so it keeps accepting connections, including close, while a command holds the state lock, and a SIGTERM sent in that window is no longer lost
- Migrated the docs site to Geistdocs

What changed: recent Agent Browser releases
20 stable releases in the last 90 days · Full changelog
- Fixed auth vault login to pick usable controls when hidden duplicates exist, and to bind credential entry to the selected field so replaced fields or redirected focus are rejected before submitting
- Fixed chat mode to allow webmcp, skills, and other top-level browser commands, so the model uses page WebMCP tools instead of falling back to eval
- Fixed Kernel profiles so KERNELPROFILENAME sessions send the profile as an object instead of failing with a 400, and added KERNELPROFILESAVECHANGES to opt into saving changes back
- Fixed Chrome freezing after launch by draining its stderr for the browser's lifetime, so a full log pipe no longer blocks the browser
- Fixed Browser Use by switching to Cloud V4, which creates, attaches to, and stops the same browser with bounded timeouts
- Fixed Vercel Sandbox shared memory detection by measuring /dev/shm capacity and adding --disable-dev-shm-usage below 256 MiB, so Chrome no longer terminates renderers on the undersized mount
- Fixed recording cursor and mouse movement timing so cursor rendering stays synchronized with page content during drags and timed mouse moves
- Added Vercel Labs product and project status badges to the README
- Added conditional screenshots with screenshot --if-changed to skip unchanged captures and --threshold <0-1> to tolerate small pixel differences. Screenshot history is scoped to each tab and…
- Added automatic snapshot deltas with snapshot --delta, which returns a full baseline followed by an unchanged revision or compact structural changes. Use --full to refresh the baseline
- Added persistent snapshot refs for surviving DOM elements across same-document changes. Replaced elements and navigated pages or iframes invalidate their refs without recycling identifiers
- Added human-like pointer movement with session --input-mode, per-action --human for clicks and drags, and reproducible curved mouse move paths
- Added recording presentation tools: --cursor renders an animated pointer and click ripple, while --contact-sheet saves a timestamped PNG summary of visual changes (#1807,
- Added stateful auth vault login with auth login --no-navigate, which fills an already prepared login page after verifying its origin against the credential URL
- Fixed Windows headless Chrome desktop artifacts by isolating owned headless Chrome on a private desktop and ensuring its process tree is cleaned up when the daemon exits or is forcibly terminated.…
- Added higher-quality video recording: record start and record restart now capture the current active page at 30 fps by default, support --fps 1-60, use Page.startScreencast for smoother motion,…
- Added WebMCP availability output so navigation responses advertise when a page exposes allowed WebMCP tools, including availability metadata for CLI, JSON, and MCP clients
- Added session setup inheritance for new tabs. Tabs opened with tab new or through page clicks now inherit the active session's headers, credentials, user agent, locale, timezone, geolocation,…
- Fixed recording startup validation so missing ffmpeg, extensionless output paths, and invalid recording options fail before browser or recording state changes. Failed replacements preserve the…
- Fixed recording navigation state so URL navigation during recording clears stale element refs, frame scope, and page WebMCP state like normal navigation
