Is there an existing issue for the same bug?
Bug Description
detaching iframe (ads/widgets/analytics) makes the entire DOM extraction fail. Since virtually every real page has such iframes,
this matches the "fails on every page" symptom.
- browser-use#3557 / PR#3923 — extract_clean_markdown returns partial/empty content.
- Reports of DOMWatchdog exceeding 30s and timing out.
(Note: the exact exception we observe is TimeoutError; #4778 surfaces as a frame-not-found RuntimeError. Same class of
DOM-extraction fragility, possibly the same root, but I can't confirm it's identical.)
Request
browser-use 0.11.9 predates these fixes, and upstream is now at 0.13.2. Please either:
1. Bump the pinned browser-use (≥0.13.x) so these DOM-extraction fixes are picked up, and/or
2. Make _get_content resilient — pass an explicit timeout to extract_clean_markdown and degrade gracefully, and surface a
clearer error than a bare TimeoutError.
