Quick start (local)

Bash

openclaw browser --browser-profile chrome tabs
openclaw browser --browser-profile openclaw start
openclaw browser --browser-profile openclaw open https://example.com
openclaw browser --browser-profile openclaw snapshot

Profiles

Profiles are named browser routing configurations. In practice:

- ''openclaw'': Launch/attach to a dedicated OpenClaw-managed Chrome instance (isolated user data directory).

- ''chrome'': Control your existing Chrome tabs via Chrome extension relay.

Bash

openclaw browser profiles
openclaw browser create-profile --name work --color "#FF5A36"
openclaw browser delete-profile --name work

Use a specific profile:

Bash

openclaw browser --browser-profile work tabs

Chrome extension relay (attach via toolbar button)

This mode lets agents control existing Chrome tabs you manually attach (does not auto-attach).

Install unpacked extension to a stable path:

Bash

openclaw browser extension install
openclaw browser extension path

Then Chrome → ''chrome://extensions'' → Enable "Developer mode" → "Load unpacked" → Select printed folder.

Remote browser control (node host proxy)

If the gateway runs on a different machine than the browser, run a node host on the machine with Chrome/Brave/Edge/Chromium. The gateway will proxy browser actions to that node (no separate browser control server needed).

If multiple nodes are connected, use ''gateway.nodes.browser.mode'' to control auto-routing and ''gateway.nodes.browser.node'' to pin a specific node.
