Screenshot: browser agent fails on LinkedIn's anti-automation and asks the user to post manually
Key-Explanation-477 · reddit · 2026-10-26
A screenshot captures an awkward failure of a Chrome browser agent (AutoBrowse/Ask Gemini-style tool): trying to post a congratulatory reply on LinkedIn for the user, it hit persistent "actuation errors"—unable to click the search bar, type, or submit—and candidly admitted defeat, asking the user to paste the text manually. LinkedIn appears to block automated clicks/inputs. A good illustration of how browser agents still hit walls on anti-automation sites.
