Credentials. The profile directory holds session cookies for the signed-in account, so anyone who can read that directory can act as that account.
Who it is forA shopper or buyer who repeats the same cart task on a site they already use and wants to avoid signing in each time.
The problemEach run in a fresh browser needs a login, and the login step breaks repeated tasks.
The outcomeA run that opens the saved profile, works on the signed-in account and reports what it did, with the profile kept on disk between runs.
What you need first
- uv, which fetches Python 3.13 or newer
- OPENROUTER_API_KEY, or AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY for the Vercel AI Gateway
- BROWSER_USE_API_KEY for the default cloud browser, or the --local flag for local Chrome
Steps
google-chrome --user-data-dir="$HOME/.fastbrowse/amazon" https://www.amazon.com/and sign in, then close Chromeuv run fastbrowse "Add a UGREEN USB-A to USB-C cable, 2m, to my cart." --start https://www.amazon.com/ --profile ~/.fastbrowse/amazon --headed(inferred, check the README)- Drop
--headedonce the profile is signed in, so the run is headless and opens no window - Check the cart page in the same profile to confirm the item was added (inferred, check the README)
Prompt for your agent
Use the fastbrowse repo to add <item> to the cart on <site URL> using the profile at <profile dir>. Run `uv run fastbrowse "<task>" --start <site URL> --profile <profile dir>` and report the status and cost. Verify the item appears in the cart in that profile.
Caveat. The profile is local to one machine, so a cloud browser needs the separate --cloud-profile setup on the Browser Use Cloud account instead.
