Gumpbox 1.11: Browser Use

Gumpbox 1.11 introduces Browser Use: your AI agent can now drive a real browser on your server while you watch it work in real time. The feature targets a long-standing gap — operational work that ends at a login page, an OAuth callback, or a confirm button with no API. That work now stays with the agent, under your supervision.

Capabilities

• Browser sessions on your server. Each session is a Chromium container on a host you already manage. Any host that already runs Gumpbox sandboxes qualifies — it uses the same Docker setup — and the default session preset allocates 1 GB of RAM. Nothing runs on your Mac: the viewer connects directly to your server over an SSH tunnel, and destroying a session removes the entire container.
• Agent control via MCP. The agent can navigate, click, type, scroll, read pages, open and close tabs, and take screenshots through the same MCP interface it uses for everything else in Gumpbox.
• Live streaming viewer. Sessions stream to a window on your Mac over noVNC, keystroke by keystroke, so you see exactly what the agent is doing. A shareable viewer URL serves the same live view in any browser with a latency readout — useful for long-running tasks or for sharing visibility with a teammate.
• Browser profiles. Import cookies and bookmarks from Chrome, Edge, Brave, or Arc on your Mac and apply them to a session, so the agent starts already signed in. Cookies and bookmarks travel through Apple Keychain and never pass through the agent.
• Every tier, every platform. Browser Use is included for all users on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

How control works

An agent only drives while someone is watching. Control lasts exactly as long as a viewer is open. Close the viewer and driving stops within seconds; the browser session itself keeps running, so nothing is lost. Unattended browser automation is technically possible, but Gumpbox deliberately ships without it — supervised control is the safer default.

Your input pauses while the agent drives. While an agent holds control, your keyboard input does not reach the browser, so you and the agent never compete for the cursor. Closing the viewer always stops the agent's control.

Current limitations

Browser Use is a first release, and it drives real websites, which are themselves prone to breaking changes. Some flows may misbehave. If you hit one, report it on Discord — reports from these releases have shaped more fixes than any roadmap.
