New features, improvements, and fixes.

2026-09-15Agent setup

A new black theme, and a simpler way to get started

  • -Get a free API key, add it to your agent environment, and copy a ready-to-use BrowserFabric instruction.
  • -Setup guidance for Codex, Claude, and cloud agents, including runtime credentials and network access.
  • -A black homepage with refined contrast, responsive controls, and the live browser playground.
2026-09-15Live playground

Try a cloud browser, right on the homepage

  • -Start a private, two-minute Chromium demo without an account.
  • -Interact with a sample workspace, run the observe-and-act example, and inspect the actual page state.
  • -A more focused homepage with refined typography, browser framing, responsive controls, and detailed examples on demand.
2026-09-15Agent interface

A cloud browser built around your agent

  • -Observe, act, verify: compact page state, element references, action batches, and explicit outcome checks.
  • -Explicit tab selection, stale-reference protection, and fresh observations for recovery.
  • -Cancel pending work without closing the browser; identical request IDs protect against repeated actions within a live session.
  • -Native screenshot images over MCP; Python and TypeScript SDKs 1.1.1 with hosted quickstarts for the new interface.
  • -A renewed BrowserFabric website, brand, and agent documentation.
