Try Browser Use /web-ui to control your browser automation

08 Apr 2025

Have you explored Browser Use yet? It is one of the most exciting projects I have recently worked with, leveraging an LLM (Large Language Model). I used its GUI, web-ui, which is straightforward to set up in Local by following the project documentation.

You can configure various model infact model running in Local with Ollama. But I used Google gemini for my testing.

• prompt I used "goto google.com and type anandabazar,go to first link and give me top news" I am surprised how well it works, i will try more in near future.

While the project worked seamlessly for me initially, I encountered an SSL issue while connected to a VPN. As someone who does not use Python daily, I was unfamiliar with the error and spent several hours investigating the problem. Eventually, I discovered that the issue was related to the gRPC Python module. For reference, you can find more details in gRPC Issue #27727.

To fix the problem,

• Export certificate from Browser (Chrome)
• Import *.pem to ceritificate store in Python
• Set the GRPC_DEFAULT_SSL_ROOTS_FILE_PATH environment variable to point to the correct certificate file. Here is the configuration I used for .env browser-use:

GRPC_DEFAULT_SSL_ROOTS_FILE_PATH="C:\\Users\\ssing\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python312\\Lib\\site-packages\\certifi\\cacert.pem"
