Browser agent benchmarks, October 2 and 3, 2026
Archived report from October 3, 2026, for an earlier release. For current results, see browser agent benchmarks.
93.9% on WebVoyager. 73.8% on Online-Mind2Web.
The pre.dev browser agent on two public benchmarks of tasks on live websites: 641 of the 643 WebVoyager tasks and all 300 Online-Mind2Web tasks, two full runs each. Headline rates are the mean of the two runs. Every task result is in the CSVs below.
WebVoyager, 641 tasks
Averaged over two full runs of the 641-task WebVoyager set (94.2% and 93.6%). TinyFish's 91.1% is from their own run in May 2026, with a different harness, patch set and grader. We did not re-run it. Protocol differences
Online-Mind2Web, 300 tasks
Mean of two full runs (73.7% and 74.0%). We trail TinyFish's published 89.9% by 16.1 points on this benchmark. Where we lose
WebVoyager
WebVoyager is 643 tasks on 15 live websites, from Allrecipes and Amazon to Google Flights and Wolfram Alpha. We ran 641 of them. The other 2 ask the agent to probe or log in to someone else's account (GitHub--40, Google Search--15); TinyFish also removed 2.
An LLM grader scores each task from the agent's final answer and its screenshots. We report four ways of grading the same runs. Standard is the number to compare with published WebVoyager scores. Strict is our own, harder check: a correct answer read from page text that never appeared on screen fails it.
11 and 19 tasks (Run 1 and Run 2) pass the standard rubric but not the strict one. In Run 1, 1 task that ended TIMEOUT was graded a standard pass because its answer and screenshots met the rubric; counting it as a failure gives 603/641 (94.1%). Run 2 had none. Final status, Run 1: SUCCESS 618, NO_TARGET 19, BLOCKED 3, TIMEOUT 1; Run 2: SUCCESS 614, NO_TARGET 22, TIMEOUT 2, BLOCKED 2, ERROR 1.

TinyFish published rates for 8 of the 15 sites. Their per-site task counts can differ from ours by one, since their two removed tasks are not named (their Apple row is 42 tasks; ours is 43).
Patched tasks
WebVoyager dates from 2023, and some tasks ask about products, pages or events that no longer exist. We patched a task only when its premise no longer holds on the live site, never because an agent failed it. We reviewed all 641 tasks against the live sites without looking at any run results; each patch is the smallest edit that keeps the task about as hard. Borderline cases stayed unpatched, and two tasks that now sit behind a login wall (Huggingface--1, Huggingface--6) stay in the denominator.

Online-Mind2Web
Online-Mind2Web is 300 tasks on 136 live websites, split into easy, medium and hard by how many steps a person needed. We ran all 300 in each of the two runs, unpatched, and graded them with WebJudge, the judge method published with the benchmark.
We trail TinyFish here: 73.8% against their published 89.9%, and of the levels they published, the gap is widest on hard tasks (27.4 points).
| Level | pre.dev, our runs | TinyFish, published |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 88.1%72, 69/80 | 97.5% |
| Medium | 76.2%109, 109/143 | not published |
| Hard | 54.5%40, 44/77 | 81.9% |
| All | 73.8%221, 222/300 | 89.9% |
Sources: overall 89.9% from TinyFish, "AI browser agents"; easy 97.5% and hard 81.9% from their Show HN thread (February 2026); they have not published a medium figure. An earlier TinyFish post reported 81%. TinyFish does not say which judge model produced these numbers.
Where we lose
The two runs failed 79 and 78 tasks. Of those, 15 and 21 ended BLOCKED: the site refused the browser before the task could start or finish, most often on bestbuy.com (3, 4) and google.com (3, 4). Another 31 and 29 ended NO_TARGET (the agent could not find what the task asked for), 1 and 1 timed out, 2 and 1 ended ERROR, and 30 and 26 returned an answer the judge did not accept. Most failures are now wrong or missing answers, not blocked sites.
The judge grades the browser trajectory, not our final status. Final status, Run 1: SUCCESS 246, NO_TARGET 36, BLOCKED 15, ERROR 2, TIMEOUT 1; Run 2: SUCCESS 239, NO_TARGET 38, BLOCKED 21, ERROR 1, TIMEOUT 1.
Time per task
Wall time from submitting the task to its final result, including queueing and retries. Our harness checks for results every few seconds, so each time is accurate to within about 10 seconds.
| Benchmark | Median | 90th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| WebVoyager, Run 1 | 90.6 s | 362.8 s |
| WebVoyager, Run 2 | 87.4 s | 333.4 s |
| Online-Mind2Web, Run 1 | 130.6 s | 461.5 s |
| Online-Mind2Web, Run 2 | 142.2 s | 445.9 s |
How we ran it
- Live sites. Every task ran against the real website, in a fresh anonymous browser session.
- Run 1, October 2, 2026. Release gate. The current release ran on our staging deployment, with the build and settings now in production, alongside the previous production release on the same tasks at the same time. WebVoyager 19:53 to 20:54 UTC; Online-Mind2Web 22:18 to 23:01 UTC.
- Run 2, October 3, 2026. Production. The public API, after the release. WebVoyager 00:10 to 00:43 UTC; Online-Mind2Web 00:39 to 01:08 UTC.
- Previous release, same tasks, same time as Run 1. WebVoyager 95.2% standard and 91.7% strict; Online-Mind2Web 67.0%.
- Task text. WebVoyager tasks carry a fixed note: use a fresh anonymous session; do not order, book, pay, message, publish, create an account or log in; for booking and purchase tasks, show the option and price and stop. Travel dates from 2023 and 2024 in the 86 Booking and Google Flights tasks moved to upcoming dates in late 2026 and early 2027, keeping each trip's length. Online-Mind2Web tasks ran as published.
- Budgets. WebVoyager: 50 steps and 540 seconds per task. Online-Mind2Web: 7, 12 and 15 minutes for easy, medium and hard tasks. Normal production retries stay on, and their time counts.
- WebVoyager grading. A separate LLM grader that the agent does not use saw the task, the final answer and up to the last 15 screenshots. It never saw reference answers or the agent's own success claim. The grader prompt and settings were frozen before the runs. The four metrics come from two rubrics (standard and strict), each scored on 15 and on 3 screenshots.
- Online-Mind2Web grading. WebJudge from the benchmark's paper: it lists the task's key points, scores each screenshot for relevance (threshold 3), then gives a verdict. We ran it with a separate LLM grader that the agent does not use; the paper's own judge model may score differently.
- Sampling error. Two runs per benchmark, averaged. 95% intervals for the mean, from resampling tasks with each task's runs kept together: 92.3 to 95.5% on WebVoyager and 69.3 to 78.3% on Online-Mind2Web.
- TinyFish. Their numbers are quoted as published, from their own runs and harness. We did not re-run TinyFish.
- Per-task data. Each CSV row is one task in one run: the public task id, site (and level for Online-Mind2Web), pass or fail for each metric, wall time in seconds and the final task status (
SUCCESS,NO_TARGET,BLOCKED,TIMEOUTorERROR, as in the API). - Earlier version, October 2, 2026. An earlier release: WebVoyager 93.2% and Online-Mind2Web 62.8%, mean of two runs. Archived report, with its per-task CSVs.
Earlier: July 2026 head-to-head with Browser Use Cloud
On July 8, 2026, our July release and Browser Use Cloud ran the same 100 real-world tasks with the same inputs, output schemas and pass rule, each on its default budget tier. Prices are what each service billed per task. These figures are from the July release; we have not run the current release on this suite.
| Agent | Passed | Median time | Price per task |
|---|---|---|---|
| pre.dev browser agent (July 2026 release) | 100/100 | 4.9 s | $0.0159 |
| Browser Use Cloud | 100/100 | 25.0 s | $0.0415 |
