Browser updates: for performance

[frugleme]

The change introduced a caching mechanism to the browserTool to improve performance. It allows the tool to store and retrieve web content, significantly reducing latency and resource usage for subsequent requests to the same URLs.

Please add some context in the description for your change. Thanks!

this looks helpful as the current browser experience is subpar. Should be headless with better performance. I would probably recommend just using agent-browser (https://skills.sh/vercel-labs/agent-browser/agent-browser) to wrap playwright as it will handle all of this for you in a performant way

We're doing pretty much exactly what OpenClaw does for browser.

What makes the current experience subpar @emkman ?

It's not headless, which this current PR addresses, its slow, and it failed at a very basic task when I tried it (extract the distribution history from: https://yieldmaxetfs.com/our-etfs/wntr/)

Not sure exactly where the issue is but when I performed the same extraction in Claude Code using agent-browser skill it had no problem

I believe OpenClaw is not headless either, is it? (could be wrong here).

TBH let's match whatever the OpenClaw functionality is as I've found it to be quite good!
