Cursor just dropped "browser control" and it made me $750 in 20 minutes...
Cursor’s new browser control feature is the most underrated release of the year, easily. Here's the link to the tweet that they dropped about it: https://x.com/cursor_ai/status/1972778817854067188 Basically Cursor (the agentic coding software) as of 48 hours ago can now control your browser. Which means the infinitely intelligent AI Agent inside Cursor can do any action you would do in your internet browser on autopilot and very quickly. Really think about that for a second. Using it will instantly make you feel like a genius developer. For me, this new feature has already has made me $750 from a quick automation I built that took 20 minutes through vibecoding in Cursor. I attached a video of the automation I built but here's the context: A pool construction company I've been working with asked me to build a sales automation for them that pulls property records from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser (PAPA) website, cross-references addresses, and figuring out which homes are most likely to need a new pool. It’s not glamorous work, but it generates them leads that are veryyyy valuable. It’s the kind of thing that usually takes hours of manual clicking, searching, and cleaning spreadsheets. I just happened to be on Twitter and saw Cursor drop their browser feature. So I decided to put it to the test. Instead of using N8n or writing scripts, I literally just typed instructions into Cursor like: - “Go into PAPA and search for recent property sales.” - “Click into each property record. (There was 100+).” - “Check the ‘Extra Features’ tab to see if a pool exists.” - “Return only the addresses with pools in JSON format.” ON THE FIRST TRY, Cursor did all of it. It opened up a chrome browser, navigated through the site, clicked through dozens of properties, extracted the data, and gave me back a clean list of addresses I could push directly into Google Sheets. With no errors or hiccups. Here’s where it gets both exciting and kind of unsettling: this isn’t “AI writing code for you.” This is AI doing the job itself inside the browser. It’s clicking buttons, filling forms, and handling workflows that people are literally paid to do.
