Recommended order
1. Built-in Browserbase mode
Recommended. Use Hermes’ native browser tooling with Browserbase as the cloud browser provider.
2. Browse CLI
Use this when you want additional Browserbase platform features and more granular control over sessions, contexts, logs, fetch, search, and browser configuration.
Setup paths
| Order | Path | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Built-in Browserbase setup | Users who want Hermes’ native browser commands to run on Browserbase |

Common use cases
