How does it handle bot detection like Cloudflare?

It uses Browserbase's advanced stealth mode and residential proxies to navigate sites protected by anti-bot measures and CAPTCHAs seamlessly.

Can I take screenshots of the web pages?

Yes, the skill supports taking both standard and full-page screenshots in various formats like PNG and JPEG for visual verification.

Does this skill run the browser locally?

No, when used correctly with the --ws flag, it connects to a Browserbase cloud session, ensuring high performance and bypassing local environment limitations.

What are element references?

Element references are short aliases (like @0-5) generated during a snapshot that allow the AI to interact with specific buttons or inputs accurately without needing manual CSS selectors.
