Browserbase Changelog

Director.ai - Chat disabled when session ends

Now when a session has ended and you can no longer interact with a task, the chat is disabled! Huge UX improvement, thanks for the feedback!

SOC 2 Type II, officially.

We’re so excited to announce that we’re SOC 2 Type II certified. We also have SSO for Scale plan customers.

Uploading extensions in API

Just shipped a few changes to uploading extensions in API:

  • We now accept zipped extensions up to 100 MB
  • We now return a 400 if an extension exceeds 100 MB instead of a 500

Introducing the Browserbase MCP

Introducing the Browserbase MCP🛠️

We’ve updated our tools to be powered by Stagehand, our AI browser automation SDK that is more powerful than direct Playwright calls.

You can now use our remote hosted server and run browser sessions in parallel, unlocking more use cases than ever.

Introducing Director

Web automation for everyone!

Director makes it so you don’t have to start writing code to use Browserbase. You can start with the task that you already know—the boring work that you want to automate. And then, using AI by chatting with the application, it outputs a Stagehand script that controls the browser.

Where’s that browser running? Browserbase—the best infrastructure platform for running browsers at scale in the cloud.

Try it now at Director.ai

Stagehand is now in the playground

The Browserbase playground is used to develop and test scripts before putting them into production. Previously, our playground only supported Playwright, but we’ve now added our open source browser automation framework, Stagehand.

You’ll see new script templates, a “convert to Stagehand” button, and you can add in new commands in the console after running.

Massive price decrease!

Our new Hobby plan is only $20 a month, renamed → “Developer Plan”. For current Hobby customers, this will be reflected in your next invoice.

We’ve also increased concurrency across every plan!

Stagehand now in the Browserbase dashboard

Leveraging the Stagehand API, Browserbase can now offer a deeper look into Stagehand script executions. This enhanced observability will help users better understand and optimize their Stagehand usage and also provide debugging insights that significantly reduce troubleshooting time and improve the overall developer experience.

Key features include method inspection views, element highlighting for actions, and detailed execution metrics.

New account structure - Organizations

Browserbase has moved all remaining customers from single user accounts to multi-user and multi-project supported Organizations.

This means your team can have their own logins, see sessions across shared projects, and manage multiple projects under one org. Or if you’re building alone, you can have multiple projects within your account.

No action required on your part. Read more here.

New CAPTCHA details in API docs & SDKs

We now ship the captchaImageSelector and captchaInputSelector browser settings in the API docs and in the SDKs!

const sesssion = await bb.sessions.create(body: {
  projectID: BROWSERBASE\_PROJECT\_ID,
  browserSettings: {
    captchaImageSelector: "",
    captchaInputSelector: "",
    }
});

We also now have two new versions of our SDKs with a lot of internal improvements!
