# Top Browser & Web Automation Skills for Cursor

For scraping and browser control from Cursor, pick by whether you need a browser at all: firecrawl for hosted, JavaScript-rendered extraction across many pages, and browser-use or playwright-skill when the task requires logging in, filling forms, or clicking through a flow a fetch-based scraper cannot reach. Valyu covers the case where you want cited source data rather than raw HTML.

## In Browser & Web Automation but NOT verified on Cursor (6)

These may well work — the SKILL.md format is shared. They are listed as unverified because this site lists an agent only where the install was run or the publisher documents a path for it.

- playwright-cli — Microsoft's first-party Playwright skill, invoked through the CLI — the reference implementation for driving a real browser, with no credentials required. (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/playwright-cli)
- browser — Local browser with no credentials, or a hosted Browserbase session with CAPTCHA solving and residential proxies when the target is protected. (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/browserbase-browser)
- ui-test — Diff-aware adversarial QA: it reads the git diff and tests only what changed, across correctness, accessibility, layout and UX. (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/browserbase-ui-test)
- chrome-devtools — Chrome's own team, giving agents the DevTools protocol: drive it, inspect it, debug it. (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/chrome-devtools)
- brightdata — The anti-bot problem, handled: proxies, SERP, and structured extraction at scale. (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/brightdata-skills)
- apify — Run the marketplace's scrapers, or turn your own scraper into a deployable Actor. (https://top-agent-skills.com/skill/apify-skills)

## Common question

**Which of these need an API key before they do anything?**

The hosted ones — firecrawl and Valyu — are API-backed and need a key and a budget. browser-use and playwright-skill drive a local browser and need no account, which also means the rate limiting and anti-bot handling are your problem rather than a vendor's.
