Local instance of Chrome not running well

[agupagu]

Bug Description

I am trying to use browser-use with my local instance of chrome but i keep getting the following errors:

INFO [agent] 📍 Step 1 ERROR [browser] Failed to update state: Page.screenshot: Protocol error (Page.captureScreenshot): Cannot take screenshot with 0 width. Call log:

• taking page screenshot

• - disabled all CSS animations
  

• • waiting for fonts to load...
• • fonts loaded

And then in my terminal, I get this error:

[90214:259:0310/165034.809255:ERROR:new_tab_ui.cc(55)] Requested load of chrome://newtab/ for incorrect profile type.

I run this debug statement in my terminal prior to all of this as well:

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222

Reproduction Steps

1. Just run browser-use with your local chrome instance by pointing it to chrome_instance_path='/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome'
2. Run the debugging statement in your terminal as follows: /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222
3. Run your agent and observe the error

Fyi I am using claude 3.5 and openai 4o

Code Sample

async def main():
	# Persist the browser state across agents


	browser = Browser(
	config=BrowserConfig(
		headless=False,
		chrome_instance_path='/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome',  # Adjust this path for your OS
		)
	)

	async with await browser.new_context() as context:
		model = ChatAnthropic(model_name='claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620', timeout=25, stop=None, temperature=0.3)
		openaimodel = ChatOpenAI(model='gpt-4o')


		# Initialize browser agent
		TesterAgent = Agent(
			task="""
				1. Go to google.com and search "cat".
			""",
			llm=model,
			browser_context=context,
		)
			
	


		history = await TesterAgent.run()
		tokens_used = history.total_input_tokens()
		print(f"Total tokens used: {tokens_used}")



asyncio.run(main())
