# Browser Use

> Point a Browser Use agent at Kernel browsers

Browser Use is an agent framework, not a browser host — so there's nothing to port. You keep your agent code and change where its browser comes from.

If you're running Browser Use against its own cloud, or against a local Chromium, this is the change.

## Point the agent at a Kernel browser

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  from browser_use import Agent, BrowserSession
  from kernel import Kernel

  kernel = Kernel()
  kernel_browser = kernel.browsers.create(stealth=True, timeout_seconds=600)

  session = BrowserSession(cdp_url=kernel_browser.cdp_ws_url)

  agent = Agent(
      task="Find the top story on Hacker News and summarize it",
      browser_session=session,
  )

  try:
      await agent.run()
  finally:
      kernel.browsers.delete_by_id(kernel_browser.session_id)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The full setup, including the model configuration and running it on the [App Platform](/apps/overview), is on the [Browser Use integration page](/integrations/browser-use).

## Things to check

* **Keep the default context and page.** Kernel browsers launch with one already open. Browser Use handles this, but custom harness code should use `contexts()[0]` / `pages()[0]` rather than creating new ones.
* **Set `timeout_seconds`.** An agent that stalls shouldn't leave a browser running — see [termination](/browsers/termination).
* **Concurrency is per plan.** Running many agents at once is bounded by [concurrency and limits](/browsers/concurrency-and-limits).
