Your agent keeps working as it is. The browser it uses, its proxy and its logins are set up new in four steps. ### Stays the same * Your agent's code The task, the model and the agent loop stay; only the line that makes the browser takes the profile's address. * browser-use over CDP browser-use talks to its browser over CDP, and every profile hands out a CDP address on your PC. * Your model and your key The agent keeps calling the model you chose with your own key. Scalebrowser only supplies the browser. ### Starts fresh * Where the browser runs On your Windows PC with a real graphics card. macOS and Linux are coming soon. [1Install Scalebrowser on your PC](https://scalebrowser.net/switch/browser-use#move-install) * The browser line Browser() takes the profile's CDP address. Leave out user_data_dir and storage_state: the profile keeps its cookies, storage and logins. [2Connect your agent](https://scalebrowser.net/switch/browser-use#move-connect) * Your proxies You bring your own and set it on the profile, not in browser-use. Scalebrowser checks it and sets time zone and language to its country. [3Create profiles from a preset](https://scalebrowser.net/switch/browser-use#move-profiles) * Your logins They start fresh in each new profile: sign in once per site, or let your agent store the login in the vault without seeing it. [4Sign in once per site](https://scalebrowser.net/switch/browser-use#move-logins) ### What you gain * An identity from your PC Each profile runs on your own PC: graphics card and screen come from its real hardware, time zone and language from its proxy. * Logins the agent never sees Each profile keeps its cookies and logins, and your agent signs in from its vault without ever seeing the password. * Workflows Turn a repeat job into a workflow of 89 blocks, run it over many profiles and start it on a schedule, by webhook or from your agent. * Run videos A run becomes a video with zoom on the clicks and a cursor that follows, shared by link. * Pay by browsers at once Plans count the browsers running at the same time: Solo runs 5 at once with 100 profiles for $49 a month. ## The move, in four steps. From the install to the last login, with your agent as it is. 1. ### Step 1: Install Scalebrowser on your PC The Windows app runs the profiles and serves the REST API, MCP and CDP on 127.0.0.1:8787, behind a token. 2. ### Step 2: Connect your agent Pass started.cdp_ws to Browser(cdp_url=…), or let Claude Code, Codex or Cursor drive the profile over MCP. 3. ### Step 3: Create profiles from a preset Your proxies are checked first. Then each new profile gets its own identity in its proxy's country. 4. ### Step 4: Sign in once per site Each new profile starts signed out. Sign in once and it stays signed in, or let your agent store the login in the profile's vault without seeing the password. ## Before you switch, short answers. A line or two each. Every call and field is in the [CDP docs](https://scalebrowser.net/docs/cdp). ### Yes, one line changes. Hand the profile's address to Browser(cdp_url=started.cdp_ws, highlight_elements=False). The task, the model and the agent loop stay as they are. See the [CDP docs](https://scalebrowser.net/docs/cdp). ### ### ### ### ### ## Keep browser-use. Give it a profile. Install Scalebrowser, start a profile and hand its CDP address to browser-use, or let your coding agent drive it over MCP.
