New tool lets AI coding agents use your logged-in Chrome browser

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new open-source tool called chrome-use has been developed to allow AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex to leverage a user's existing, logged-in Chrome browser sessions. This bypasses the common issue where agents start with a fresh browser context, requiring repeated logins and CAPTCHAs. The tool uses a Chrome extension and native messaging to connect agents to the user's active browser tabs, preserving cookies and SSO sessions without needing to open debug ports. AI

IMPACT Enhances the usability of AI coding agents by allowing them to access real-time user sessions and data within a browser.

    Let Claude Code or Codex use your logged-in Chrome (without opening a debug port)

    <p>Ask a coding agent to "check the open issues on our dashboard" and it usually gets stuck at the first step. The browser it drives is a fresh automation browser, and that browser is signed in to nothing. Your cookies, your SSO session and your 2FA-protected accounts all live in…
