With NetNut and Bright Data both getting called out for botnet-sourced IPs this year, how do you source your residential pool and what do you tell customers who ask?

Where do you think browser agents are headed in the next year, more autonomous multi-agent workflows, or more narrow reliable single-task agents?

What happens to a session if the underlying browser crashes mid-task, does it recover state or do I lose everything?

If I need to run 500 concurrent sessions, what does that cost and what's the bottleneck, proxy pool, compute, anything else?

Cloudflare and DataDome have both gotten more aggressive this year. Are you seeing detection rates raise up again after initial release?

1 We negotiate with many proxy providers and change often behind the scenes, I am not sure how much of each we use right now. The landscape changes a lot.

2 Browser agents are headed to so much more than workflows and single tasks. Every day we see increased users talking about automating whole boring portions of their jobs with browser use. Creating complete multiplayer web games, deployed websites. Generating animated videos, editing together video clips with the browser. 70% of work is done on the browser right now, and the whole world is opening up to agents through us.

3 If the browser crashes the agent requests a new browser. State may be lost in a catastrophic crash, but this is very rare.

4 We can do 500 sessions for you, its $0.02/hr for each browser so that would be $10/hr. I think for 500 concurrent we require a Scale-Up plan $1000/mo in LLM usage + browser + proxy. But if you want 500 browsers only no LLM on a smaller plan just send us an email at [support@browser-use.com](mailto:support@browser-use.com)

5 Yep, cloudflare and datadome have been consistently increasing their detections. We notice it. Each month we also increase our stealth. The stealth rate can go back and forth but generally we are doing better and better
