Pattern: Browser Automation for Agents Has Split Into a Pixel Tier and a Structure Tier
The same Aug 19 release that took pixel-level computer use GA also shipped a distinct browser toolset that reads the accessibility tree, elements, forms and tabs, and returns element references instead of coordinates. Chrome DevTools MCP has been moving the same way, exposing named tools rather than screenshots. The practical read: use the structured tier when the page has semantics you can target and the pixel tier only when it doesn't, because coordinate-based clicking breaks on every layout change and structure-based targeting doesn't.
