Browser Use 0.13.8
Browser Use 0.13.8 introduces first-party OpenClaw skill support, sets the default ChatBrowserUse model to bu-2-0-mini-preview, updates security dependencies, and delivers numerous agent, DOM, and tool execution bug fixes.
Why this signal matters
Browser Use release 0.13.8 pairs with Browser Harness 0.1.9. Key feature additions include first-party OpenClaw skill integration and changing the default ChatBrowserUse model identifier to bu-2-0-mini-preview. The release contains extensive fixes across the agent runtime, such as recovering Anthropic tool arguments serialized as text, properly setting MCP error states, correcting MessageManager state isolation, guarding against ZeroDivisionError and empty action lists, applying in-memory cookie storage dictionaries, and fixing DOMTreeSerializer leaks of occluded text. Security pins for aiohttp and pypdf were also updated.
Actionable summary

What builders should check
- Upgrade browser-use to 0.13.8 to incorporate stability fixes and dependency security pins.
- Verify compatibility if relying on ChatBrowserUse default models, which now points to bu-2-0-mini-preview.
- Review MCP integration error handling as CallToolResult.isError is now surfaced directly as a failed ActionResult.
