New chrome-bridge tool lets AI agents control logged-in Chrome browsers

A new open-source tool called chrome-bridge allows AI agents to control a user's existing, logged-in Chrome browser. Unlike other tools that use clean browser instances, chrome-bridge connects to the user's active browser via a small extension and a Node.js server. This enables agents to interact with websites as if they were the user, performing actions like clicking links or filling forms, and can be driven by various AI models including Claude Code, Qwen, and General Language Model. AI
