open-browser-use

Control Chromium-family browsers through open-browser-use.

open-browser-use connects Chrome to your local open-browser-use runtime so local agents and automation tools can operate the browser at your request. The extension provides a local bridge between Chrome and the native open-browser-use host installed on your machine. It supports user-directed browser automation such as opening tabs, inspecting browser state, interacting with pages, coordinating downloads, and showing visible interaction feedback in the page. open-browser-use is local-first. The extension communicates with the local native host through Chrome Native Messaging. It does not upload page content, browser history, screenshots, downloads, debug logs, or runtime tokens to an open-browser-use cloud service. Key capabilities: - Connects Chrome to the local open-browser-use native host - Lets local agents control tabs and browser sessions when requested by the user - Supports page interaction through Chrome extension APIs and the DevTools Protocol - Shows visible cursor and interaction feedback during automation - Stores connection state and diagnostics locally in Chrome storage - Provides setup handoff instructions for local coding agents This extension is intended for users who intentionally install open-browser-use and want local browser automation for development, testing, research, and agent workflows.
