description	Orchestrates browser tasks requiring multi-tool coordination: search-then-navigate, login-then-download, multi-page interactions. Use when the agent needs to: (1) Search for a website then interact with it, (2) Login or fill forms, (3) Navigate multiple pages to find a target, (4) Extract download links from dynamic pages. For simple cases: use webfetch for static pages, curl for known file URLs.
