Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for Selenium - it was a game changer and had a big impact on my professional life.

I’m interested in checking out Vibium - I’ve been a reluctant adopter of Playwright and hopeful for a new approach.

If you're already using Playwright, I'd love for you to give Stagehand a try (https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand) - it has compatible-ish API, but built for automation, not testing.

Very cool. I make a consulting business out of packaging selenium scripts into windows apps for small businesses, do you have any desire to turn this into a saleable product?

Stagehand is our open source project, but the company behind it is called Browserbase - https://browserbase.com/ where we run headless browser infrastructure as a service. So no interest at this point, Browserbase drives the revenue that funds Stagehand!

I'm working on rebuilding Playwright from the ground up, but focused on automation and self healing using LLMs.

It's called Stagehand (https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand) and we just released v3, which is a total rewrite.

How do you deal with abuse? We recently had to block all of Browserbase, because someone used their platform for AI training. Generally we're fine with scrapers, but we're not equipped to handle the amount of traffic that some of the browser automation sites can generate.

It really sucks to block an entire service, just because a few of its users can't control themselves. At the same time a lot of SaaS providers makes it impossible to report a single user/tenant and getting a paying user banned just isn't happening.

Hey there! Founder of Browserbase here. If you're seeing any abuse from one of our customers we'd love to hear more. Mind sending more info to paul@browserbase.com?

Really love the decoupling of the logic and the runtime for the actual tool calls.
