Good to see. Google only has this feature in experimental mode for $125/month subscribers: https://labs.google.com/mariner/landing
Google allows AI browser automation through Gemini CLI as well, but it's not interactive and doesn't have ready access to the main browser profile.
It's part of antigravity for free. Just make a blank workspace and ask it to use a browser to do X and it'll start chrome and start navigating, clicking, scrolling, etc.
Yeah, I only found it by accident when I asked it to make a change against my web app and it modified the code then popped open Chrome and started trying different common user/pass combinations to log into the app so it could validate the changes.
Wait, It was brute forcing passwords? This sounds extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. Seems like a boon for malicious users
A human in that position would try a few obvious things like "admin/admin" and then go hunting in the readme to see if a specific user is documented for testing and then maybe go to the user database and see if there is an existing admin user and maybe reset the password to get in.
Yeah, I didn't see what passwords it typed but it was trying usernames like "testuser" and stuff :p
Chrome's DevTools MCP has been excellent in my experience for web development and testing. Claude code can jump in there and just pretend to be a user and do just about everything, including reading console output.
I'm not using it for the use case of actually interacting with other people's websites, but for this purpose, it's been fantastic.
I've been wondering if it was a good replacement for the playwright mcp, at least for chrome-only testing.
I personally replaced my playwright mcp with this. Seems to use less context and generally more reliable.
After a lot of trouble trying to get playwright mcp to work on Linux, I'm curious if this works better
