browser-cli

About

Control your real browser from the terminal or Python.

browser-cli lets developers automate existing Chrome-compatible browser windows, tabs, tab groups, pages, DOM elements, storage, screenshots, and sessions without starting a separate headless browser.

It is useful for shell scripts, Python automation, workflow tooling, browser productivity, testing, research, and local developer automation.

Features include:

• Manage tabs, windows, and tab groups
• Open, focus, reload, sort, pin, mute, move, and close tabs
• Extract text, links, images, HTML, Markdown, JSON, and metadata
• Interact with pages: click, type, scroll, wait for elements, query the DOM
• Save and restore browser sessions
• Use from both CLI and Python SDK
• Works with Chromium-based browsers like Chrome, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi, and Chromium

This extension is the browser-side component of browser-cli. The companion Python package and native messaging host are required.
