Summary

A user discovered that their Hermes browser tasks were slow due to an outdated config; after updating to Browser Use 3.0 CLI, performance improved by 72%.

My @NousResearch Hermes browser tasks felt really slow and I was confused because I thought I was using all the latest @browser_use 3.0 CLI etc. Turns out I wasn’t, and embarrassingly my config was still using the old browser tools.

Fix the config if needed, restart into a fresh session, and report the speed difference.”
