Who should use it

browser-automation teamsAI agent buildersQA engineersdata-extraction pipelines

Who should skip it

Skip or sandbox it if you cannot review permissions, data access, and failure modes before use.

Risk explanation

Browser automation against authenticated sessions can expose cookies, internal data, or destructive UI actions if prompts or selectors go wrong; Because it is a newer browser engine, verify compatibility on critical sites before moving production automations over.
