Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Yea, the internal browser has not been working very well at all. Even when it was able to browse, it said it cannot recognize Blazor elements on the page. The older version that was using normal browser was working super well.

Thanks for reporting this! This is a known issue with the new Browser Tab feature in Cursor 2.0 - the team is actively working on improvements and has shipped several fixes in recent updates.

Could you please share Request ID from the failed Agent interaction (context menu > Copy Request ID)

@Serp - Thanks for confirming the issue. Could you also share request ID if you’re seeing the same error?

Today there is new kind problem. I did ask agent to see my page in location X.

  • With external browser it freezes to first “Planning next moves”.
  • With internal browser it first navigates to the page and then takes screenshot, and then freeze to the “Planning next moves”

Can confirm, this is happening for me across multiple models despite it being able to 1. See the tools, and 2. Browser Automation is green.
