About Open Browser Use

Open Browser Use is an innovative open-source solution that enables local AI agents to seamlessly interact with your Chrome browser profile. By integrating through an MV3 extension, native host, CLI, MCP server, and SDKs in JS, Python, and Go, it offers a versatile and developer-friendly environment for browser automation. Unlike cloud-based automation tools, Open Browser Use keeps everything local, ensuring greater privacy and control. It allows AI agents to open and claim tabs, execute Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) commands, inspect webpage states, monitor downloads, handle file upload dialogs, and organize tabs efficiently. This makes it an ideal choice for developers, AI researchers, and automation enthusiasts looking to extend their AI capabilities into real browser interactions without relying on hosted solutions. Its open-source nature and multi-language SDK support make it highly customizable and accessible for a broad range of projects, from testing to complex AI-driven browsing tasks.
