Open Browser Use

The Professional Grade Browser Automation Stack

Open Browser Use (OBU) is a powerful, platform-neutral automation framework designed to let AI agents control a real Chrome profile. Unlike sandboxed environments, this skill allows your agent to interact with the user’s actual browser sessions, including saved logins, extensions, and local files, while maintaining strict security and session management.

What it does

This skill provides your agent with a comprehensive toolkit to navigate the web just like a human. It supports:

• Multi-Profile Management: Detects and switches between work, personal, and side-account Chrome profiles.
• Unified CLI & SDK: Native CLI and SDKs for JavaScript, Python, and Go for flexible integration.
• Session Persistence: Managed "task groups" that group tabs by project, with built-in cleanup routines.
• Advanced Interaction: Direct CDP command support, file chooser interception for uploads, download monitoring, and clipboard management.
• MCP Support: Plugs directly into agent runtimes like Claude Code or Cursor via a local Model Context Protocol server.

Why use this skill?

Standard AI-browser tools often struggle with authentication, CAPTCHAs, or complex multi-tab workflows. Open Browser Use leverages a real Chrome instance and a native messaging host to bypass these limitations. It includes sophisticated "tab lifecycle" logic that automatically cleans up research tabs while preserving deliverable results, ensuring the user's browser doesn't become a graveyard of abandoned AI windows.
