Summary

This PR addresses Issue #8116 by enabling the browser-use tool for all models that support images, rather than restricting it to models with explicit computer-use capability.

Changes

  • Changed all references from supportsComputerUse to supportsImages in browser tool availability checks
  • Updated function signatures and type definitions across 8 core files
  • Fixed corresponding test files to use the new parameter name

Rationale

As discussed in the issue, any model that can process images inherently has the capability to understand screenshots, which is the primary requirement for browser interaction. The previous restriction to only models with explicit computer-use support was unnecessarily limiting.

Files Modified

  • src/core/webview/generateSystemPrompt.ts
  • src/core/task/Task.ts
  • src/core/prompts/sections/capabilities.ts
  • src/core/prompts/sections/rules.ts
  • src/core/prompts/system.ts
  • src/core/prompts/tools/index.ts
  • src/core/prompts/tools/types.ts
  • src/core/prompts/tools/browser-action.ts
  • Test files updated accordingly

Testing

  • All existing tests pass
  • Type checking passes
  • Linting passes

Fixes #8116

Important

Enable browser-use tool for all image-capable models by changing checks from supportsComputerUse to supportsImages.

  • Behavior:
    • Enables browser-use tool for models supporting images, removing restriction to models with explicit computer-use capability.
    • Changes references from supportsComputerUse to supportsImages in browser tool availability checks.
  • Code Changes:
    • Updates function signatures and type definitions in generateSystemPrompt.ts, Task.ts, and index.ts.
    • Removes supportsComputerUse from model definitions in model.ts, anthropic.ts, and bedrock.ts.
  • Testing:
    • Updates test files to reflect the new parameter name.
    • Adds new test generateSystemPrompt.browser-capability.spec.ts to verify browser capability logic.
  • Misc:
    • Removes supportsComputerUse related UI elements and translations in ModelInfoView.tsx and settings.json files.

I reviewed my own code and found it's only half-baked. The other half is still in the oven.

There's still a lot of references to supportsComputerUse in the code however it can be removed as a follow up PR.
