Chrome-bridge – lets AI agents control your real logged-in Chrome browser
Chrome-bridge is a tool that lets any AI agent (LLM-based, e.g. Claude or similar) drive your actual Chrome browser with your existing logged-in sessions. It solves the problem that headless automation can't access accounts behind logins, letting agents perform real browsing tasks on the user's behalf. Aimed at developers and users of AI agent frameworks.
