Browser Use 1.0.5 sends unredacted screenshots to its default run judge

Browser Use released version 1.0.5 on November 14th, 2026, adding a default post-run judge that receives browser screenshots exactly as captured, with only the accompanying text redacted, according to the release published by Sarath Menon at 08:24 UTC. The open-source framework, built by co-founders Magnus Muller and Gregor Zunic and backed by a $17 million seed round led by Felicis Ventures in March 2025, documents that screenshots go to the agent's own model as rendered, with use_vision=False or judge=False as the controls, and the judge receives up to four images in total. The change matters because users running Browser Use agents with default settings send unredacted page imagery to a model without opting in.
